I had the pleasure (tonque in cheek) to clean a lovely, solidly built older leather 5 piece suite. The leather needed a good, deep, clean which took me some three hours. In addition, it needed some minor repairs, which became more apparent after cleaning! However, the lovely owners, with my recommendation agreed that rather than buying new, a re-colouring was the best way forward to get it back to new and provide them with further years of good service. See before and after results:
If you have a leather suite (or other piece of leather e.g a handbag etc) then it requires cleaning and protection cream added on semi-reqular basis (3-4 times a year). A new, purchased, piece of leather furniture should come with a free cleaning & protection solution which will keep you going for a few months, but over time people tend to forget to keep-up the cleaning routine.
Consequently, one day, you realise that your very expensive leather purchase is 'black' with dirt, marks, stains etc. This where a professional leather clean can help. It takes a least 3-4 hoursto properly clean a 5 piece suite - even with the correct, professional, cleaning solutions and protection creams!
In my experience, that having removed all the dirt highlights the wear and tear via sweat stains showing up. This is when a re-colouring can be carried out. Why spend hundreds/thousands of pounds on a new piece when the old can be given a new lease of life. Your leather should, with the right level of TLC, last you years; or until you get bored with it!
Have a good weekend
