The way in which an outlet handles leather is a good dry-cleaning benchmark. The care it takes, such as hand-finishing, will be indicative of the quality of its other services. Most budget cleaners only rub and shine the surface of the leather utilizing the spit and polish technique, which merely buffs the jacket and tricks customers into thinking all dirt has been removed.

At Kleaners of New China Laundry, the process of cleaning a leather jacket is quite complex. Dirt apparently accumulates under the leather's finish so, to begin with, this finish is removed. The dirt is then removed by a lifting process quite like nail polish removes nail varnish. Then, depending on what kind of leather it is, the clothing is re-treated to return to its original state.

Our Fanling plant has dedicated an entire floor equipped with the best collection of machines, including a 25kg hydrocarbon drycleaner, which is at present known as the first and only model in Hong Kong for handling of dedicate and expensive fabric, sequins leather and opera costumes.
