These are problems that NSF Upholstery can repair very easily. By using a professional leather cleaning solution and a liquid leather spray we can restore the chair back to its original condition and avoid expensive and costly furniture replacement. The leather repair process involves cleaning the affected area with a leather cleaning solution and then spraying liquid leather over the whole furniture to ensure colour match add a vintage leather sheen and quality finish.
