What is included
On site upholstery cleaning matched to the fibre, extracted at low moisture and dried below 12 percent so nothing grows back. Sofas hold body oils, dust and spills deep in the weave. We identify the fabric first, test for colour fastness, then clean with shampoo, steam or dry foam as the fibre allows and extract the soil rather than pushing it deeper.
- Water drop test on a hidden area to confirm the leather is unfinished
- Surface dust lifted with a soft brush and a HEPA vacuum
- Cleaner for unfinished leather applied sparingly and blotted with microfibre
- Nubuck nap raised with a soft brush, aniline lightly conditioned once dry
How we carry out aniline and nubuck leather cleaning
The first job is to know what the leather is. A small drop of water on the underside of a cushion or the back of the frame tells the technician a lot: on finished leather it beads and sits, on aniline and nubuck it soaks in and darkens. Those two carry only dye in the hide and no coating on top, which is why they feel so soft and why they mark so easily with hand oils, hair products, drinks and sweat. A general leather cleaner can leave a blotchy finish that cannot be reversed.
Cleaning is therefore slow and light. Dust comes off with a soft brush and a HEPA vacuum, then a cleaner made for unfinished leather is worked in on a damp, never wet, microfibre cloth and blotted off panel by panel so the colour dries evenly. On nubuck the flattened nap on arms and seat fronts is lifted with a soft brush once dry. Aniline gets a light conditioner. Dark areas from years of hand contact usually soften but often remain, and the supervisor explains which marks are part of the hide ageing.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Site visit and written quotation. A supervisor visits, measures and records every room, surface and extra. The written quotation that follows sets out the scope, with no hourly meter and nothing added on the day.
- Protect and prepare. Lifts, floors and furniture are protected and delicate finishes are logged on a surface register before any product is opened.
- Dry before wet, top before bottom. Dust is lifted with HEPA filtered vacuums from ceilings and fittings downwards. Each zone is then wet cleaned with chemistry matched to its finish.
- Detail work and floors. Tracks, switches, skirtings, handles and glass are finished by hand. Floors are machine scrubbed last so nothing is walked back in.
- Inspection and report. The supervisor signs all fourteen checks, photographs the result and sends you the report within the hour.

Aniline and Nubuck Leather Cleaning in Dubai Hills Estate: what we plan for
Dubai Hills Estate is a master planned community around an 18 hole golf course and Dubai Hills Park. Detached villas sit in neighbourhoods such as Sidra, Fairway Vistas, Golf Place and Parkways, Maple offers townhouses, and apartment buildings surround the park and Dubai Hills Mall.
The community is still being completed in places, so construction dust is a regular visitor. Homes along the fairways also see irrigation overspray and grass cuttings on glass and terraces.
Villa neighbourhoods have gated entrances with security registration. Apartment buildings require a work permit and a service lift booking through building management. Exterior changes to villas need approval from the community developer.

Questions about aniline and nubuck leather cleaning in Dubai Hills Estate
What does aniline and nubuck leather cleaning include?
Aniline and nubuck leather has no protective finish, so water, hand oils and cleaners can darken it. Each piece is tested first and cleaned only with methods for unfinished hides. The work includes water drop test on a hidden area to confirm the leather is unfinished; surface dust lifted with a soft brush and a HEPA vacuum; cleaner for unfinished leather applied sparingly and blotted with microfibre.
Can you remove the dark patches on the arms of my aniline sofa?
Those patches are usually body oils absorbed deep into the hide. Cleaning often lightens them and evens out the colour, but they rarely disappear on unfinished leather, and the supervisor tells you what to expect after the test patch.
Why did a glass of water leave a mark on my nubuck chair?
Nubuck has no surface coating, so water soaks straight in and dries with a tide line where minerals and dye have shifted. Blotting at once helps. A mark that has already set is cleaned across the whole panel so it dries to one even tone.
How much does aniline and nubuck leather cleaning cost in Dubai Hills Estate?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size of the property and number of rooms; condition, and how long since the last deep clean. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides aniline and nubuck leather cleaning in Dubai Hills Estate?
The MELLS provides aniline and nubuck leather cleaning in Dubai Hills Estate. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 58 656 3001.
How long does aniline and nubuck leather cleaning take?
Typically 1 to 3 hours for most sofa sets, with fabrics dry enough to use in 4 to 6 hours. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Is steam safe for my sofa?
Not for every fabric. Velvet, silk blends and some viscose fabrics need low moisture or dry methods. We test first and choose the method the fabric can take.
How long does a sofa take to dry?
Most fabric sofas are dry to the touch in four to six hours with the AC running. We measure residual moisture before leaving so the sofa is never left wet.
Can all stains be removed?
Most food, drink and body oil stains come out fully. Ink, dye transfer and old set stains may only lighten. We tell you what to expect before we start.
How do your crews get access to Dubai Hills Estate?
Villa neighbourhoods have gated entrances with security registration. Apartment buildings require a work permit and a service lift booking through building management. Exterior changes to villas need approval from the community developer.
Do we need Emaar approval for work in Dubai Hills Estate?
Cleaning, AC servicing and repairs inside the home only need the gate or building pass, which the resident arranges. Exterior painting, waterproofing, fit out and any change to the facade, roof or garden structures need a no objection certificate from Emaar or the community management in Dubai Hills Estate before work starts. We prepare the method statement, drawings, insurance and trade licence documents the approval asks for.
How do I choose a company for aniline and nubuck leather cleaning in Dubai Hills Estate?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (14 Point Standard signed by the supervisor, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
Can you come to Dubai Hills Estate at short notice?
Yes. Crews travel from our Barsha Heights base, and urgent work in Dubai is attended within two hours between 08:00 and 19:00, Monday to Saturday.
