About Solutions Fabric & Leather

Solutions Fabric & Leather is a premium specialty cleaning company caring for luxury fabric, leather, upholstery, and rugs inside the homes of high-end clients, designers, and property managers throughout Southern California. Our core work is the meticulous cleaning and care of delicate, high-value textiles silk, velvet, mohair, leather, suede, wool. Fire and smoke restoration is a growing service line we are actively expanding. We are not a basic carpet-cleaning company our reputation is built on craftsmanship, documentation, and the long-term preservation of valuable materials.

In business since 2013, every client relationship built through word-of-mouth. We are a "Solutions" first, client-centered company, and we constantly evolve to meet what our clients need. One recent example: when the Palisades fires threatened so many of the people we serve, we trained, sourced equipment, and stood up our fire and smoke contents-restoration capability so we could be there. That is who we are.

Trust and respect are hard to earn. Once earned, we protect them like a lion. We are looking for a technician who wants to come grow with us.
