When your leather speaks of luxury, your cleaner should match its standard. We handle every garment and accessory using techniques that protect both form and feel. Trust Carlson Cleaners to preserve the integrity of your finest pieces.
Leather Jackets and Coats
We clean and restore leather outerwear using gentle, professional-grade methods that preserve the natural luster and structure of your garments. From biker jackets to luxury coats, we help them look sharp, supple, and ready to wear.
Designer Leather Purses and Handbags
Delicate hardware, fine stitching, and premium leather require specialized care. We gently clean, refresh, and protect your handbags to restore their beauty and extend their lifespan.
Leather Skirts, Pants, and Vests

Suede’s soft nap and delicate surface demand expert handling. We lift stains and refresh suede fibers without overdrying or damaging the material.
Leather-trimmed Clothing and Accessories
From blazers with leather collars to fabric bags with leather accents, mixed-material items need precision cleaning. We protect each component — both leather and fabric — so nothing is compromised.
Leather Gloves and Small Accessories
Delicate leather gloves, belts, and small accessories are cleaned and conditioned to remove buildup and revive flexibility. Our process helps prevent cracking while maintaining a smooth, luxurious finish.

Our Leather Cleaning Process
The Signature Leather Cleaning Process at Carlson Cleaners
Caring for leather takes skill, time, and the right touch. Here’s how we deliver all three with every order:
Step 1 Schedule Your Drop-off or Pickup
Give us a call or book online, whatever’s easier for you. We offer convenient FREE Pickup and Delivery Service throughout Sarasota and nearby neighborhoods.
Step 2 In-person Inspection and Care Assessment
Once we receive your item, we take a close look. We evaluate the leather type, check for wear or stains, and make note of any areas that need special attention.
Step 3 Gentle, Specialized Cleaning
We carefully clean your leather using proven, material-safe techniques that lift dirt and oils without drying, cracking, or altering the texture.
Step 4 Moisturizing and Conditioning
After cleaning, we apply a deep conditioning treatment that restores softness, luster, and flexibility, keeping your leather nourished and protected.
Step 5 Final Quality Check and Packaging
Before your item returns to you, it’s thoroughly inspected, reshaped if needed, and freshly packaged. You receive it clean, refreshed, and ready to wear or store.
what we offer
Our Specialized Care for Garments, Household Linens, and More
Dry Cleaning
Since 1989, Carlson Cleaners has provided Dry Cleaning Service with precision, professionalism, and a deep personal touch.
Not at all! Just let us know your preferred drop-off or pickup spot — most of our Sarasota customers use a covered porch or entryway for added convenience.
Can you clean suede items, too?
Yes, we can. Suede requires a gentler touch, and our team is trained and equipped to safely clean and refresh suede garments and accessories.
How long does the leather cleaning process take?
On average, leather cleaning takes about five to seven business days. We’ll give you a clear timeline once we inspect your item in person.
Is leather cleaning safe for vintage pieces?
It is, and it’s often essential. Older leather can dry out quickly, so we handle vintage pieces with extra care to preserve both their condition and their character.
What if my leather item has stains or fading?
We’ll take a close look and walk you through what’s possible. While not all stains or fading can be completely reversed, we always aim to improve the appearance and are up front about the results you can expect.
