Welcome

Welcome to the Professional Leather Cleaners Association! We want to be your trusted source of information for the care and cleaning of your valuable leather apparel and accessories.

Perhaps you’ve seen the care label in your leather garment: Clean by a Professional Leather Cleaner. But just what does that mean? It means that only a Professional Leather Cleaner is equipped and properly trained to clean leathers, suedes and furs. Reputable dry cleaners outsource their leather care services in order to get the best cleaning, ensure happy customers and avoid costly damage. Your local cleaner likely already uses or has access to a member of PLCA.
