upholstery cleaning help

[ronald pantelas]

Last night at a restaurant that I was cleaning. I was asked to clean upholstery booths. It cleaned up great. It seems that someone when making the piece used a felt pen to mark his work underneath the fabric. Well it seemed to bleed thru. This is a light color polyester. So the unit now has a few black fine lines from underneath. Any suggestions? Thank You, Ron

If they won't live with it, and you have to correct it (it's not your fault, by the way) then you can go back and buff it with a encap shampoo and a 90 degree buffer, if you have one. Now is a good time to buy one.

Sears has a good scrubber/polisher. 9.6 volt and fully submersible 2 speed 250 and 750rpm for around $60.00

If you can keep the stuffing from getting wet then removal from the fabric is usually not a big deal.

A good ink spotter, apply first with towel and remove all you can then lightly rinse and force dry using hair dryer. Don't get too close or you could scorch the fabric.
