Thanks Mark I live in oxfordshire, do you think I will need to get someone professional to do it? Or something of the shelf?

Proffesional!!!!!!
Would be my strong advice, could be hard enough to remove without setting it in permanent or causing any further bleaching or damage.

I was talking to a customer yesterday who's carpets suffered the same problem... She took the jeans back and complained and Asda manager paid for their carpet to be cleaned....

It'll be a lot cheaper to get a professional in than it will to replace the sofa bed.....

Just make sure you do get a professional in, not someone from some dodgy looking leaflet - tho some leaflets can look first class but the company is still dodgy.

I've just put carpet cleaning oxford into google and you do seem have a lack of carpet cleaners there but do what I've just done and e-mail all of them. Someone should come back with a positive answer for you

If the denim dye does not come out of the fabric then id certainly expect it to be a big difference.  Whilst the fabric is still damp it will look dark however, once dried it should almost disappear.  Im pretty sure that a professional company will get a good result.  Try Rainbow International on 0871 271 4545.
