But is it linen or solution dyed acrylic?

Also, don't forget what Oz said about the print garbage out there being sold by Restoration Hardware.

 

[Mikey P]

Restoration or ACE?

It belongs to my wife's hair dresser so I had to perform (barter)


takes skill to clean without wetting the buttons...

 

[WillS]

This is from our first year cleaning. Thought this would be like any other and we did not know the buttons were metal. The guy told us they used to spray the couch off with a hose. When we cleaned it, 2 hours later they sent this picture. From then on, we've always covered the buttons and didn't get any moisture on them, maybe small spot clean w a brush.

Shit about this f*{^} couch, the customer thought they bought it from RC Wiley when eventually found at it was bought at Z Galleries. When we were trying to find the exact fabric color and type, it took weeks, then had to order it from Great Britian on top of reupholstering the buttons. T-Rust couldn't fix that, the rust fully ate away the fabric.

I told the customer they could have been rusting under neath when washing w the hose. (This was a high end home to). We still took responsibity in fixing it. $350 lesson.

This pic was from the customer 2 hours after cleaning. I don't know why those buttons rusted only - we cleaned the entire couch.

Would your wife consider switching to another hairdresser?

 

[Kenny Hayes]

If I was doing that, especially bartering I swear, when no on was looking
I'd encap it I'd vacuum it first

Dry buttons...

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Spray buttons with OMS before and after cleaning. Towel or blow dry.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Wd40 works in a pinch.

Man back in the day I would cut a slit in cardboard furniture tabs. Place them foil side down and spray clear silicone on the button.

It worked most of the time but occasionally it darked the fabric. Then I had a oily mess on a button that could potential rust.

On upholstey that had a pile I would terry towel each button dry and give drying a jump start with a hair dryer.

Just don't stay too long on a button or I hear you can scorch the fabric.

How often are the buttons plastic instead of metal nowadays?

That would only get the wife a cut and color in my neck of the woods. I'd also want a mani pedi and a massage for cleaning that one. And a fruity drink with an umbrella while I wait.
