What can i use to get a stain out of my chair?

Question

I was thinking about the woolite pod or tide to go...Do they work? any other suggestions?

It is cloth, a stable cloth that i'm just asking for future reference.

Answer 1

What is the chair covered with - cloth or leather or plastic or just paint/stain?

What made the stain - wine, fruit juice, chocolate, pizza, un-housebroken pet, paint, or sweat?

With those details added someone will have a good suggestion. The trick is to deal with the stain without making the rest of the chair look like a wreck so that is why precision counts.

Your saying Woolite makes it sound like the chair is cloth. I think Woolite will not do a good job on a chair. It is really made for wimpy fabrics where keeping them from ripping is more important than cleaning strength.

Answer 2

First, you need to know what the material is that you will be cleaning. You use different products for different materials. Say, it is silk; you can't clean silk the same way you would clean suede. It may be a treated fabric and that would be easier to clean. I think you should find out, if possible what the material is and then look it up on the web by putting in the fabric and then asking what to clean it with. Heloise has a site as well and I think there are sites for "how to clean everything". Try one and you will have the answer. Oh, and it is good to know what the stain is from: wine, blood, tar, grease, etc. Some you can clean with an alcohol based product, some with an oil based and some with shampoo or Woolite. Be sure to indicate, if you know, what the substance is that has stained the chair. You don't want to damage the product by using the wrong cleaning method. Good luck.

Answer 3

It Depends on kind of Stain & Material on which Stain is some tips...are

Remove excess soil or food product right away if possible
Find an inconspicuous spot to test your cleaner
Don't over-wet
Don't rub too vigorously or it may pill
Blot the liquid with an absorbent material. Cotton towels (white to avoid color transfer) or paper towels are great for this job

Mostly depends what your stain is from and what kind of fabric your chair is... Most stains if greasy I use Simple green . I use it often and it works great just spray and wipe try carpet cleaner if that doesn't work. GOOD LUCK!
