Title: acrylic chenille upholstery
Post by: Ben Lugg on August 10, 2009, 07:53:52 pm

Hi Guys
I've got a job to clean a 3 piece suite upholstered with acrylic chenille (cream/biscuit coloured). 
On one of the chair cushions there is a lot of soiling from the husband's hair product.  It is a hair laquer which he uses.  It has left a dark oily looking stain on the fabric.  The suite is 2 years old and has a scotchguard treatment from new.
I've only got prochem products so if anyone has recommendations on which of these to use, that would be great.
Thanks in advance
Ben

You should find that fabric restorer will work here. Use hot and spray with left hand and brush immediately with right (tampico) this will create and immdiate foam. The rest should by done via instruction on the bottle

Only guessing without seeing, but the dark appearance may just be dust and fluff that's stuck to the sticky patch.  Simply dampening it for lubrication and then brushing may well get rid of the vast majority.

Acrylic normally cleans up really well.  Don't forget the opportunity to add on protector to the sale too ;)
