Leather cleaning
The starting point for every restoration. On dirty leather no colour or protector will hold.

Coming from Nowy Dwór
Leather restoration — Nowy Dwór Gdański
Żuławy means damp — and it is damp, not use, that most often ruins leather here in cars and furniture kept in unheated buildings.
Leather stored in damp behaves differently from worn leather: it doesn't wear through, it stiffens and gets covered in a bloom, and in worse cases mould. A piece of furniture from a garage or a car after a winter under a cover can look far worse than its age would suggest.
Bloom and mould
This is the first step and it can't be skipped: until the surface is clean, no product will bond. With mould we also check what's underneath — if the foam is damp through, the leather alone won't solve it.
Restoring suppleness
Once dried, leather can be as stiff as cardboard. Softening gets it flexing again before it starts cracking at the folds.
Protection for the future
A protector reduces moisture absorption, but it won't replace ventilation. We'll tell you plainly what a product can do and what has to change in the way it's stored.
What customers from Nowy Dwór Gdański bring us most often
Each of these services has its own page — with a description, the course of work and photos.
Leather softening
Leather exposed to the sun goes stiff — fastest of all in a car. Softening brings back its suppleness before it starts to crack.

Products that protect against UV, water and denim dye transfer — the most common cause of stains on light-coloured seats.

More about this serviceDamp instead of wear
In an unheated garage, a summer house or an outbuilding, leather deteriorates without being used. Moisture gets into the pores, a bloom and mould spots appear on the surface, and once dry the leather hardens and cracks. A piece of furniture or a car can look worn out even though hardly anyone used it.
What we do
First cleaning that removes the bloom and spores — without it the spots come back. Then softening the hardened leather, filling the cracks and colouring. Finally impregnation, which limits the absorption of moisture.
When that's not enough
If the moisture has passed through the leather into the foam and the frame, restoring the leather alone won't solve the problem. We say so when we quote, before we start anything.
