Treating a stain depends on the age of the stain, the stability of pigment color, the type of weave and the composition of the tissue. These parameters determine (in addition to dry cleaner experience know-how) if stain can be removed or not, contrary to the idea prevailing among most people that all stains are treated. Stains are classified into four categories:- Oily based: oil and its derivatives- Water based: beverages and others- Solid: mud, coal- Compound: sauces (oil and lemon together for example) For broader info please refer to our TB 3 and TB 10

Leather is the most debatable garment among all item's wardrobe. People think that cleaning leather (threedimensional constitution, non-uniform and complex) is similar to other common and classical garments (uniform and homogenous constitution).Indeed, targets and ways of cleaning are totally different. It includes three parts: - Superior layer called leather: contains fur and pores determining animal type. - Central: principal characteristic of leather - Inferior or suede: also called skin side. Being non uniform neither in structure (variable thickness, cicatrices, wounds) nor in color, the tanner tries to create an illusion of homogeneity for the skin: he masks the defects and anomalies with special tar, rasps the excess of thickness for homogeneity, presses under high temperature to eliminate these undulations and finally paints it. In other words, the tanner makes up the skin. For more details, please refer to our TB 7
