 We're being asked about cleaning leather upholstery but it's not an area we've ever tried.

Is this a profitable add-on to carpet and upholstery cleaning?  Would be grateful for any tips, pricing suggestions etc.

Thanks in advance

My old man was in leather trade for 20 years he swore by saddle soap or white vinegar and linseed oil to nourish it.
I find upholstery harder as more chance of damage, people will tell you saddle soap is caustic because it's alkaline but I have never seen any adverse effects, if your a bottle snob there's tonnes of differant chems I currently have prochem two part cleaner/conditioner does the trick , it's profitable as leather sofas tend to be in nicer houses so good to tie in with carpets, repair kits for scratches are readily available pretty foolproof to get good results

I use a mix of olive oil and white vinegar with lemon juice for a nice citrus smell, works every time on my car interior which is leather. If you find some way of repairing or reducing scratches that would also work in your favour.
