Caring for Your Silicone Leather
Your treatment bed is one of the first things clients notice when they enter your clinic or salon. Keeping it clean and well maintained not only protects your investment but also supports a professional and welcoming space for your clients.
Silicone leather, sometimes referred to as vegan leather, is known for its strength, hygiene benefits and comfort. With the correct care routine it will stay smooth, hygienic and luxurious for many years.
Daily cleaning
Silicone leather is naturally resistant to spills and marks, but it still requires gentle, regular maintenance to keep it in top condition.
Recommended cleaning methods
• Use warm water with a small amount of mild, pH neutral soap
• Wipe gently using a soft microfibre cloth
• Dry with a clean cloth after cleaning
Quick sanitising between clients
• Alcohol free disinfectant wipes suitable for upholstery
• Professional salon vinyl cleaners designed for beauty furniture
Avoid the following
• Alcohol based wipes or harsh multi purpose sprays
• Bleach, ammonia or abrasive scrub pads
• Steam cleaning or high heat on the surface
Protecting from heat and sunlight
Although silicone leather is durable, direct heat and sunlight can cause fading or changes in texture over time.
Tips for protection
• Position beds away from strong sunlight where possible
• Use cotton or laser safe sheets during IPL or heat based treatments to prevent reflection marks
• Do not place heated tools, wax warmers or equipment directly on the upholstery
Weekly refresher clean
Once a week, or more often in high use salons:
• Clean the bed with a pH neutral cleaner
• Remove any remaining residue using a lightly damp cloth
• Ensure all surfaces and stitching are completely dry
Maintaining dry stitching areas helps extend the life of the upholstery and prevents weakened seams.
Preventing marks and scuffs
• Avoid jewellery, scissors and tweezers touching the surface
• Lift beauty furniture instead of dragging it when moving
• Use disposable couch roll or protective sheets during all treatments
Final note
A high quality treatment bed is a long term investment in your business. With consistent gentle cleaning and protection from heat and harsh products your silicone leather bed will continue to look and feel premium for years, supporting a luxury experience for every client who walks through your doors.
