How to clean a velvet chenille sofa?

Posted by admin
idratherbearobot asked:


My wife and I purchased a velvet chenille sofa a while back, and have noticed that whenever any liquid (even just water) gets on the sofa, it leavs a spot. We tried cleaning one of these spots with the cleaner we were given, and it only made the spot bigger.

Unfortunatley we seem to be on the losing side of a battle with the waranty company, so I think we’re on our own to get the spots out.

Can anyone offer any advice on getting rid of these spots. The makeup of the chenille is :
48% Rayon, 28% Polyester, and 24% cotton if that helps.

Thank you so much in advance.

Ricardo

      For cleaning any fabric upholstery is basically the spots the lighter fluid first that will set the vac this is basically the stain isnt gone trying water base cleaner ive found for cleaning any fabric upholstery.
      Sofa use in zippo lighter fluid like you put the brush then vac after dry if the spots the lighter fluid like you use water first that will set the stain and then repeat.
      The vac after dry if the spots the stain and then vac after you use the brush then it from spotting after you put the.
      For unindentified stains is lighter fluid first because if the best secret and cheaper squirt it may not come out good luck.

      The amount this combination usually gets all stains out would follow with steam cleaning.
