Question:

chair stain.?

ok. well yesterday my friend sat in our computer chair and her butt was wet with pool water. We both thought it would just dry up but today when i looked at the chair there is a big stain there. does anyone know how to get rid of it? the chair is green and the stain looks like it has an almost brownish edge to it.

Answer:

What was the big butt contacting? Leather? Vinyl? Canvas? This all makes a difference. More info please!
If leather, use leather cleaner. For other fabrics, cool water, sponge, dishwashing liquid and Zout fabric stain remover. 1 quart water, 1/2 tsp. Dawn or Joy dishwashing liquid. Spray liberally with Zout fabric stain remover, esp. the brownish edges. Dirt in the chair cushion rose up like mudwater when the water from the wet suit got into the fabric, that's what the brownish stain is from. Allow Zout to remain for an hour, rinse sponge in soap water, and wash the cushion. Scrub. Dump water, rinse sponge well, wring it out, fill tub with more clean water and use the sponge to rinse the cushion by soaking the sponge in clean water, wring it, start wiping or washing out the soap, repeatedly, sponge out the soap. When the soap is washed or 'rinsed' out, use a hair dryer to dry the seat, or use a clean, old bath towel and push it down, gently onto the seat to absorb most of the moisture. Then use a hair dryer to dry the seat. If this doesn't work, you could try to recover the cushion with new fabric after it dries out.
