Title: Sofa Browning HELP
Post by: MAX Carpets on July 26, 2013, 07:19:18 am: Hi Guys

A couple of weeks ago I cleaned a corner sofa, nothing special (DFS) Thats as much as I can remember! Custy went on Hol that day, she has just returned and said the sofa looks like it was cleaned with dirty water, I'm guessing browning! What would be the best way to deal with this in your opinion, chemicals and method please Im guessing I will only get one shot at correcting this so I would like as much info a possible please

Many thanks in advance

Justin

We have had it, though not such a gap between cleaning & finding out, and it fully reversed. one was an undyed linen, saw it happening on the bits the blowers weren't getting to just as I was finishing. the only acid I had on board (in the porty days when we didn't routinely acid rinse) was rust remover - just sploshed a fair bit (no idea about diln rate or acid strength) into the solution tank and re- cleaned, no detergent. The other one I can remember was orange cotton that we got called back to next day, just rinsed with standard TM add rinse.

Can you use the powdered version as a pre-spray the same as the liquid version
