Question

I have new micr suede furniture and my husband used duct tape to hold the cusions in when we were moving now i have the residue lines on it and i can't sit on it with out sticking to it. Please someone i its only a few months old..

Answer 1

if the goo gone or oops(oil based?), fails the spot test for staining/bleaching. try rubbing alcohol to dissolve the adhesive. It shouldn't bleach the fabric

Answer 2

you could TRY this.... take more Duct tape or even strapping tape which is SUPER strong.... smash it down & rub rub rub over it into the residue, then whip it off really really fast in different directions each time.

I'd try that b4 trying anything liquids that might damage the fabric--and I'd try WHITE VINEGAR before ANYTHING ELSE!! Microfiber is usually polyester of some kind which will MELT if you put anything like acetone , mineral spirits, paint thinner, etc. (some of these are found in commercial stain removers).

So I'd try
1. tape to strip off as much as possible.
2. Vinegar & scrub with a microfiber cloth (if you have one cause they've got millions of little leggy things on each fiber to grab with).
3. Finally if the above doesn't work, my trusty ol' standby, GREASED LIGHTENING.

Answer 3

Rubbing Alcohol

Try OOPS, its a cleaner that removes clue. Check the label first tho, I dont know if it bleaches or not. But it works

Dampen a rag with thinner and wipe. You don't want to get the fabric wet. make sure the rag is damp not wet.
