Any down filling in that cushion?

 

[Mikey P]

No.

I cant be positive but I think the spots showed up after we pre sprayed. Can't see how we didn't see it when dry.


Not on the hook to fix it though..

I have seen similar spots on carpet from dried and dyed flower arrangements hung on the wall. Every time a door was closed, tiny bits would fall on the carpet. We wet it and they blew up!!

In cases like that, I use a light and magnifying glass to see if any particulate residue remains. If you can find any, it helps to prove to the customer that you didn't do it as well as helps in crafting a remedy to correct it.

If it is pollen I would be surprised if peroxide didn't take it right out. Lightly mist it and let it set then rinse.

My first guess is usually bug damage. I then just try Encap02 boosted with Aquasilk peroxide and lightly rub it down before cleaning it.

BTW, look for it in pool supply places.
This is what it looks like. It works great anywhere you'd be using 40+vol

While it's not for everyone I can get a 55 gal. Drum delivered for 295. It will save me 695 dollars for the same volume. I do have a warehouse and a special dolly for it. I also have specially marked containers which I will be using. I was buying 4 cases at a time at 18 a gallon.

20 vol did nothing to it.

I wouldn't be buying that much..I couldn't use it up before it loses it's potency.

 

[Jimmy L]

Sure its not some benzel peroxide for zits?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

A component of rocket fuel.

Seriously.

No kids..

I would use some of my haition cotton extraction emulsifier that I have from bridgepoint. Mist on and vac off.
Not even sure they make it still but I have some left!

 

[Mikey P]

Does or did it reeeeek of sodium bi-sulfate?

 

[Papa John]

It looks like Cum damage. Don't ask how I know that.. haha

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Mix sodium bicarbonate as strong as you can till you can't get any more to dissolve into solution.

Put a drop of it on one of the spots and let me know what happens.

 

[Jimmy L]

Mikey the extraction formula does have that faint odor but not overwhelming.

Complete myth. Commercial peroxide stored correctly loses about 1% a year. I've mixed it in clear containers and left it by the truckmount. Used it months later with no noticeable weakness. A little spray on the ground and instant white foam. I use it inside and it works fine. I buy 35% and use a cup per gallon in my prespray for carpets. Never have I ever noticed a change in strength. I also use it in my hydroponics. I go through way more than most.

We get spots here we call Florida climate spots. High humidity and no a/c cause similar stains. They look more orange and rusty and are usually in the back away from light. It's believed by most it's a fungus. Some is just fire retardant but not all. We also see it on our clothes, tapestries and pictures. It mostly shows up on natural fibers. I have removed it before using RX for Browning. Not the liquid but the powder. It only works on white for oblivious reason.

When you buy H2O2 by the drum, expect to get a visit from the authorities sooner or later. They want to know what you are doing with that large of a quantity and how you are securing it.

And yes, we have had that visit.

Try using one those small dollar store fans to regularly blow a little air in the closet or where ever you are storing clothing. The moisture is condensing on the natural fabric since it is hydrophilic "water-loving” fiber. Air movement, even slight air movement should keep that from happening or at least minimize it.
