Suede job in Hackney, London

Hi everyone,

I have a customer asking for some suede cleaning in Hackney. It's a bigish corner sofa not very soiled IMO.
If anyone interested please PM me to get contact details.

Cheers
Emil

If it didn't cost her thousands its probably faux suede, which can be wet cleaned.

Hi Paul,

I've cleaned faux suede before but this one seem to be real suede plus it cost him 2G.
Thanks for your reply.

If a corner unit was genuine suede then it would have cost about 7K.  Suede is very rare.  Have you checked the backing of the 'fabric' or checked with a microscope as these would give you a definitive answer.  Some fabric equivalents are very very good these days and can really feel like the real thing.

You need to determine exactly what it is as cleaning either product the wrong way will potentially ruin it.

Hope this helps
If you want any more info then just give me ring.

Cheers

There are plenty of alcantara (mock suede) sofa's in London that cost way over 2k. I agree with Judy - for 2k unlikely to be suede.
