Title: blue stain on sofa from blue paper towel. how to remove?
Post by: Adam P on January 01, 2017, 03:59:24 pm

brown candle wax was spilled on a fabric sofa. they removed it all but used a blue paper towel to get it off which has left a blue mark. was going on holiday so have tried a quick bit of m-power and rinse but didn't budge.

any suggestions?

i would be be reaching for the solvents first , acetone ,isopropanol, white spirit ... one of them should get it followed by detergent rince. Or some of the branded solvent products that probably have a mix of each .
if not as a last resort some sort of oxidizer .

Hello, I had a similer prolem last year on the same fabric. i used Alltec fabric pre clean and hot extract x2 and it was all good. Obvo each colouration uses different dyes so good hunting!¬ Simon
