We would use a powder oxidizer (DC Powder Brightener) accelerated by a UV light.

If you don't have the UV light, you could try a steam iron.

What none of you MOFOS have a solution besides Cobb???? WTF????

Wellllls i did it with out yous........check this out....

I think it was a mix of her leaving it alone......the microfiber it was on....and the food coloring being more waterbased.......cuz it came right out flushing with just water and my hydra master uph tool

I hope that doesn't water ring or look funny after it dries......

Nice work Doug! Gotta love microfiber sometimes

I thought about that....there was a touch of green still showing... told them at the 1st it may not come all the way out..

considering how bad it was....i dont think they will care.....

Why not clean the whole cushions for uniformity or appearance?

Doug;

Glad it came out with extraction.

It looks more like a water-based paint from the thickness.

Microfiber is usually polyester.

It was probably a gel paste food coloring
