What all supplies do you need to get for leather cleaning? I have been cleaning it for years and the most expensive thing for me to buy is the cleaners. I use Leather Masters cleaning chems.
In your class did they teach you how to clean leather using a vapor steamer? I have heard of people using them with a terry towel wrapped over the vapor.

Ya just basically all of the chemicals.
Looks like the complete kit for everything will cost between 250-350 cdn.

If its not talked about ill ask just for you Jon :)

I think...even mild repair is taught. Be kinda cool.

I hope pricing is talked about a bit

I took that class years ago. Bought all the stuff to do it with while I was there............

Never had a call for it.  :P We just weren't seeing much leather here at the time. Not sure about now?

I sold the kit to a friend of mine that also went to the class. He didn't use it either.  ::)

Like John said, we use our vapor cleaner and a cotton or micro towel on the steam head, works great.  We have done a lot of leather furniture this way.  We don't do Nubuck or suede leather only aniline and semi aniline.  It leaves the leather clean and soft.
