I know it looks like head grease but I don,t think it is

What do you reckon  John

[markpowell]

Looks like head grease to me john, try Fab Res mate.Mark

[Mike Halliday]

from the position of it it came from the head but is it grease or perhaps hair dye last time I saw something like this was from a 80yrs old gay man who swore blind his hair was naturally a lovely shade of red :

best way to find out is clean it.

I would try what mark said and just see if anything transfers to your cloth

Trouble is that it's quilted so it's a bugger as some of the grease gets through into the inner and wickes through, Hydramaster sell a really good procduct for this kind of grease cleaning called Fabric Master Heavy Duty.

Hi Guys

I would use an enzyme digester on this and would be fairly confident.

I would make sure it was very well extracted.

Cheers

John

Yeah enzall it breaks down proteins in fibres but I once sent a white wool carpet a yellowy colour with some and had to reduce it to get it back.

I'm sure you will have got some protein spotter in the van so you can always use that after the HM stuff, turbo dry or get a hair drier to speed it up so you can assess quicker.

Ask if anyone uses anti-Dandruff shampoo. The active ingredient can cause yellowing in fabrics, if it doesn't respond to anything, chances are it's that.

[clinton]

Good point that

Hi Guys

Enzymes are the most powerful cleaning agents going, working at very low concentrations.

There are however H&S issues and I strongly recommend they are only used in localised areas, for specialist stain removal such as above.

It is very important to thoroughly rinse out.

Different enzymes will break down proteins, (proteases), fats, (lipolases) and (carbohydrates), amylases.

It could also be caused by wet hair or client attempts at spotting the cushion - in which case it will be a browning stain that may be removed by sodium metabisulphite.

John if all else fails and the customer can wait, bring it down to Wolverhampton on the 6th and I'm sure there will be someone who can fix it.

[John Gregory]

Good idea Dave will do that
