Why wiping it changes nothing
We cover all six towns: Essex, Chester, Deep River, Middletown, Clinton and Old Saybrook. Most leather repair Middlesex County CT work is done in the room.
On a damp-house piece the marks on the hide are often the smallest part of it. Foam holds moisture far longer than leather does, and what grows in it comes back through the cover.
So we open a cushion before quoting. If the foam is sound the hide can be cleaned and fed and that is the end of it.
If it is not, new foam goes in and the cover is cleaned off the frame. Recolouring over a cushion that is still damp inside wastes the work.
Shoreline pieces near the mouth of the river get a salt rinse before anything else, because salt left in the grain keeps pulling moisture in.
The towns along this stretch of the river are covered by the Lower Connecticut River Valley Council of Governments.

Middlesex County FAQ
Other Middlesex County pages:
Which Middlesex County towns do you cover?
All six: Essex, Chester, Deep River, Middletown, Clinton and Old Saybrook.
I wiped the marks off and they came back. Why?
Because they are probably not on the hide. Foam holds moisture long after a room feels dry, and it comes back through the cover.
Does the house need to be aired before you come?
It helps, but we would rather see it as it is. The foam tells us more than the room does.
Is salt air really a problem this far up the river?
Near the mouth, yes. Salt left in the grain keeps drawing moisture, so it is rinsed out before any colour goes on.
Can you work in a house that is closed for the season?
Yes, if we can get in and there is power.
