Title: Upholstery Spots
Post by: John M Byrne on February 17, 2011, 10:42:29 am

Cleaned these Chairs and Sofas in a hotel.  HAd a few with what looked like grease spots on them after cleaning.  I used Prochem Fabric Restorer with great results apart from these and a couple more with the same.  Any Ideas?

Thanks

John

Perhaps you could try a solval spotter (Prochem) or POG (Chemspec). Subject to testing of course.

These might be permanent mate,trouble is trying to much chemical might lighten the area of the fabric..

AS mick said try those chemicals and try it on  a small spot n see how it drys.

Agree with clinton, you may do more harm than good, trying stronger solvents, fabric restorer has water based solvents for removing grease, maybe try MS and towel or ultrapac renovate hot and rinse

Thanks Guys,

I was thinking of keep going with Solvall and POG etc and then thought, I think I will post a question and see if there may be any pitfalls.  I will tred carefully on the revisit.

Thanks
