Hello folks what is the best paper to use when doing upholstery ? will the stuff they use in chip shops do not newspaper obviously but the other white paper they use ? i am asking as i did a clean today empty house with a skip outside found 3 x plastic bags of sealed white paper in there ( i know i am i pikey but what the hell ) also got one of those eubank sweepers which i used to get the tonns of cat fur out of one of the upstairs carpets,better than a rubber glove and worked really really well  .And a wilton rug with charlie and di`s wedding on going to clean it up and put it on e bay or might use it as a door mat

Well i read on here that it`s supposed to go between the foam or whatever the cushions are made from and the fabric they are covered in to stop any dirt wicking back to the surface.Never used it myself but if it`s something that others use then i will give it a bash ..Why the  Steve ?

Never heard of it so i will give it a  too!

Sorry just never heard of using paper on  upholstery.

Wouldn't of thought paper and a wet suite is a good combination

if you wanted some kind of barrier between the two then i would think  clear

polythene bags would be a better bet !

In a worst case scenario Mark, paper could promote cellulosic browning.

Normally, there's no need to insert a liner into cushions. You certainly can't do it on the frame. But if you have a stain that's penetrated the cushion, a clean, unprinted polythene sheet or bag will prevent any wick back.

This can also be used if a marker has been used on the cushion during manufacture

Plastic sheeting will prevent any ink marks from transfering to the face fabric from the foam filling.

Oops, has already been said.
