Blue tinge on sofa cushion
« on: February 05, 2011, 05:45:17 pm »
Got a job today to do next Friday,3 piece suite and on the chair cushion there is a slight blue tinge,I pointed this out and the client said he thinks its come of his work trousers - presumably dark blue workwear type of thing.

I told him I doubt it will come off,any suggestions on this please,Is there any chance of it coming out?

Thanks

Wayne

Exact identification of uoholstery fabrics isn't my strong point,I checked the labels and it was a high% of acrylic and polyester and a small% of cotton.Its a cream colour which shows the blue tinge up worse.

Synthetic.

Blue colour transfer from jeans most likey.

I'd spray it with formula90 and a touch of citrus concetrate or citra boost and then scrub the feck out of it with a stiff hand brush. Leave to dwell for a few minutes while you spray and brush the other cushion. Then rinse.

You may need to repeat.

Your a prochem man eh? You can use powerburst instead of the formula90 but make sure to use that fib and fab stuff in the tank.

It might not come out completely but will be alot better. The last 10% is always a bugger! Maybe try some oxibrite but only if its a white/off white suite mind!!
