Situation: cleaning church pews with lots of wax spots on seats. Fabric feels synthetic.
So I used a dam cloth and an iron to remove the wax. (tech was instructed 3 or 4 seconds tops)It did an ok job but on one of the pews and iron mark was left. The pew does not feel like the material was burned but you definately notice the shape of an iron. And only on one of the pews out of 75 that were cleaned. So I am trying to find out what happened here.
1. Did tech leave iron on too long? (there is not burned fabric)
2. Did the heat accelerate the cleaning agent and where it heated it basically either cleaned or bleached on this one spot. ( the iron may have been used after pre-spray but before the rinse)
Any help or ideas for fixing this would be appreciated. Thanks.
