Serving Tallinn and Harju County
Tallinn’s #1 car interior cleaning company
Auto Sisepuhastus cares for leather interiors in Tallinn and Harju County. We clean, condition and protect leather seats, armrests and steering wheels, and repair minor surface damage and faded colour.
We identify the leather before starting. Aniline, pigmented and perforated leather need different cleaning strengths and techniques; the wrong product can leave a permanent mark.

Two leather specialists carry out our four leather care services at the Mustamäe workshop. By the end of 2025, they had worked on 1,846 leather interiors: 1,312 received protective treatment and 534 were cleaned only.
Conditioning replenishes oils lost from leather over time through cleaning products and sunlight, helping to prevent cracks in seat folds.
We apply a UV protective treatment and recommend renewing it every six months, when the layer's protection begins to wear down.
We restore faded or rubbed leather with pigment matched to its colour code. Conditioning alone cannot replace a worn colour layer.
The pigment is applied in three thin layers, each cured with a heat gun at 60 °C. A coating that is too thin could scratch off with use.
We fill cigarette burns, small tears and cuts, press a texture mat into the filler before it sets, then restore the colour.
The mat is matched to the seat's original grain; a different pattern would remain visible up close even with the correct colour.
We remove sweat, grease and dirt from high-contact areas such as seat bolsters, backrests, armrests and the steering wheel, where leather wears fastest.
Before cleaning, a specialist performs a water-drop test. If a drop absorbs without leaving a trace within 10 seconds, the leather is aniline and needs a milder product than pigmented leather.
The price depends on the leather type, number of damaged areas and whether you need cleaning alone or cleaning with conditioning and protection. These prices cover both rows of seats.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Leather interior care and protection | from €130 |
| Leather seat cleaning without protective treatment | from €68 |
| Leather colour restoration, one seat | from €120 |
| Leather damage repair, one area | from €100 |
| Steering wheel or gear knob leather, separately | from €35 |
The main factors affecting the price are:
Full maintenance, cleaning, feeding and protection of the leather interior of a passenger car for two rows of seats takes 3 hours in the workshop. Cleaning one individual seat without protection takes 45 minutes.
It takes 2 hours to restore the leather colour in one sitting, three layers of pigment cured with a heat gun, because each layer has to have time to cure before the next. Structural repair of larger damage, such as a tear, adds another 40 minutes to the job. By the end of 2025, 684 seats had been repainted and 1,137 had damage repaired.
The protective treatment completely soaks into the leather in 3 hours, therefore, when handing over to the customer, we do not sit on the seat immediately, but we cover the seat with protective paper until the agent is soaked.
We answer enquiries within one hour on business days and can book leather care at our Mustamäe workshop within three business days. If there are more than three damaged areas, we arrange a longer appointment by phone. We worked on 251 cars' leather interiors in 2025.
Car owner: Liina V., whose family car has a leather interior. Where did the car come from: Near Ääsmäe manor, Saue parish.
1. Inspect the leather: We removed and photographed the positions of two child seats. A water drop remained on the leather for 10 seconds, indicating pigmented leather.
2. Clean and reshape: We cleaned both seat rows with a pH-balanced product, then used a heat gun and conditioner to warm and reshape the two impressions left by ISOFIX fittings in the rear seat.
3. Condition and protect: A UV protective treatment absorbed into both rows of seats under protective paper for three hours.
4. Handover: We refitted the child seats in their original positions, pull-checked each ISOFIX lock and recorded the leather's before-and-after condition and 30-day guarantee on the job sheet.
Cost: Maintenance and protection of the leather interior, both rows of seats: 1 × €130; removal and re-installation of the child seat: 2 × €15; pick-up and return from the front square of the Saue municipality: 2 × 14 km × €1.02 = €28.56. The total amount of job sheet no. 12,640 including VAT is €188.56.
Project time in 2024: 3 hours 30 minutes of work, of which the maintenance of the leather interior for both rows of seats took 3 hours, and the removal and re-installation of the two child seats took 30 minutes. The protective treatment soaked into the leather 3 hours before the child seats were put back, and the car was returned to Saue the same day.
What changed: Both child seat dimples rose back to the level of the seat cushion and the leather is UV protected for the next 6 months.
Identifying the type of leather precedes any leather work.
On the phone, you describe whether the leather is dry, cracked or just dirty. In the workshop, the technician performs a drop of water test in a less visible area to determine whether the leather is aniline, pigmented or perforated, and selects the agent accordingly.
The leather is cleansed with a pH-balancing agent, then any visible damage is sealed with a heat-setting filler and texture is restored with a texturizing mat before a conditioning protective treatment is applied to the surface.
The product with UV protection penetrates the leather and protects against drying, while the perforated areas are passed separately so that the product does not remain in the holes. The seat is covered with protective paper until the agent is completely absorbed, and upon handing over we write the initial and final condition on the job sheet.
Leather type determines how strong a chemical can be used, and perforation adds its own limitations.
Aniline leather is dyed throughout, without a top layer, which is why it absorbs moisture and colour quickly, and the stains left in it are permanent. We clean it with the mildest, most diluted product and always test on an inconspicuous spot first.
Pigmented leather is covered with a protective colour layer that can withstand stronger cleaning agents. This coating will wear over time in the areas where the driver and passenger enter and exit, and these areas will receive colour restoration.
Perforated leather, used in seats with seat heating and ventilation, cannot tolerate an alkaline detergent: a product with a value higher than pH 9 dries out the leather's natural oils, and the edges of the holes, where the stress is greatest, begin to crack after only 20 washes. We always use a neutral agent with a pH of 6 on perforated leather.
Leather care includes cleaning, conditioning and protection, plus repair of minor cuts and burns. We identify the leather with a water-drop test before work begins.
Full treatment for two rows of seats takes 3 hours, one separate seat without protection takes 45 minutes. Restoration of leather colour adds 2 hours to the job due to the curing time of the layers.
Perforated leather used on seats with heated seats dries too strongly with an alkaline agent, and the edges of the holes crack after only 20 washes. We always use a neutral pH product on this leather and by the end of 2025, 226 interiors with perforated leather had been cleaned this way.
A minor cut or burn is covered with a heat-setting filler and the texture is restored with a texture mat, so the repair blends into the original leather pattern when viewed closely. In the case of a larger tear, the repair remains distinguishable on close inspection.
Leather interior care with protection starts at 130 euros. Only cleaning without protection starts from 68 euros, and restoration of leather colour for one seat from 120 euros.
We recommend renewing UV protection every six months as sunlight wears it down. Leather in a car parked outside through a hot summer may need treatment sooner.
The 30-day leather care guarantee is recorded on the job sheet alongside the leather's condition before and after treatment.
We will respond to the request within one hour on business days, and the car with leather seats can be booked into the Mustamäe workshop within three business days. In case of multiple damage locations, please notify us in advance to reserve a longer time window.
