Removing Blood Stains from Leather Upholstery

Removing blood stains from leather upholstery is an especially tricky task, particularly if you're worried about damaging the quality of your upholstery — and rightly so!!

Leather living room sets are far from cheap, and on top of that, this is upholstery that requires knowing how to maintain it properly, without causing irreversible damage.

Often, a quick wipe won't be enough for anyone trying to remove blood stains from leather upholstery, since the stain has already dried or left a permanent mark, and so on.

Leather upholstery is extremely delicate, and using unprofessional products will cause damage in ninety percent of cases, even if you don't notice it right away.

So let's start with what NOT to do when treating a blood stain on your leather sofa!

Don't clean it with a magic eraser sponge!

Don't clean it with vinegar!

And heaven forbid, don't clean it with bleach or any other cleaning product that wasn't created specifically for cleaning leather upholstery.

Cleaning with a magic eraser sponge or bleach, for example, will strip away the protective coating on the leather upholstery.

Leather arrives dyed in a certain shade, and on top of that it's coated with another, transparent protective layer that protects the color of the upholstery, much like the clear coat on a car's paint job.

If that protective layer is damaged by improper cleaning, your upholstery will be left completely exposed to environmental damage, and will start cracking and deteriorating within days, weeks, or months.

In cases of stains, cracks, or splits in the leather, you'll need to have it repaired or reupholstered, which will cost ten times more than a professional cleaning once a year.

At Zeus Clean, we remove blood stains from leather upholstery using professional equipment and products only.

Unlike fabric upholstery, when it comes to leather we do the work entirely by hand rather than with a machine, to avoid causing damage.

At the end of the job, our team also applies a leather protection product, which gives the leather a nice shine and protects it from cracking and, of course, from the sun's UV rays.

The treatment is exactly the same for leather living room sets and leather car upholstery.

Don't put off the cleaning — book a blood stain removal service for your leather upholstery as early as possible, to avoid a situation where the stain can no longer be removed at all.

To get a price quote, photograph the piece of furniture you need cleaned and send us the pictures by email or WhatsApp.

One of our team will get back to you within minutes with a no-obligation price quote!

After professional cleaning to remove blood stains from leather upholstery, you'll need to wait about three to six hours for the sofa to fully dry before you can go back to using and enjoying it as usual.
