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.
The Role
You will work directly under our Founder/Technical Lead on jobs ranging from routine fabric cleaning to delicate restoration of high-value pieces. Not repetitive carpet work. Every job is different.
This is a part-time, W-2 position with full-time hours during peak periods and overtime. We schedule around your existing commitments.
How Pay Works at SFL
Every technician starts at $25/hour with a 90-day review. Pay growth is tied to demonstrated work at SFL, not your rsum. Experience matters, but it has to translate to how you show up on our jobs.

  • Meet at our Jefferson/La Brea warehouse, travel to client homes in a company vehicle
  • Clean, care for, and protect high-end fabric, leather, upholstery, rugs, and specialty textiles our core daily work
  • Apply fabric protection and condition treatments
  • Fire- and smoke-related contents and soft-goods restoration a growing portion of our work as we expand
  • Document every job: condition, products, communication, photos
What We Need
  • Discretion. Many of our clients are public figures, celebrities, or ultra-high-net-worth households. All technicians sign an NDA on hire. We do not discuss clients not with friends, not on social media, ever.
  • Putting your best foot forward at every job. Our clients let us into their homes; that access is a privilege.
  • 2-4 years cleaning, restoration, or upholstery experience
  • Valid driver's license, clean record (DMV pull required)
  • Able to lift 50+ lbs, work on feet, handle stairs and tight spaces
  • Clean-cut appearance, calm professional demeanor in client homes
  • Background check on hire
Helpful but Not Required
  • IICRC certifications (UFT, LCT, FCT, FSRT) we sponsor certification for the right candidate
  • Leather restoration or fire/smoke experience
  • Spanish/English bilingual
Why Work Here
  • Real craft, not volume work you will become genuinely skilled
  • Direct mentorship from a Founder actively in IICRC coursework
  • Premium clients = better job sites and tips, no chaotic environments
  • Flexible scheduling around your other commitments
  • Path to lead tech for the right person as we grow
  • Employee Assistance Program through ADP
  • 48 hours/year of paid sick leave, accrued by hours worked (California compliant)
