I cleaned a sectional that looked like microfiber or microsuede. Very dirty and customer wanted the dog smell out.
So I sprayed the back with avenge and scrubbed in. It looked ok so I sprayed the whole thing down and scrubbed then started to extract on the top and back with the drimaster upholstery tool and I see all this brown coming out. Thought at first it was really filthy so kept hitting the same area over and over and uh oh it just kept coming. So i just extracted the whole thing with the tool to rinse out all the prespray but tried not to spend to much time in one area. Then put fans on it. Then wiped with cloths every which way to make the knapp look good and more color came off on the rags,-smelled chemical like.
Found a tag that said polyester backing clean using shampoo. Swear it was real suede or something considering the transfer. He called and said it looked great. After seeing the color come out i thought i was done for.
So any idea what this was, could it be poly with some kind of coating? Or is it real suede? This is a new one on me
