My wife and I purchased a velvet chenille sofa a while back, and have noticed that whenever any liquid (even just water) gets on the sofa, it leavs a spot. We tried cleaning one of these spots with the cleaner we were given, and it only made the spot bigger.Unfortunatley we seem to be on the losing side of a battle with the waranty company, so I think we're on our own to get the spots out. Can anyone offer any advice on getting rid of these spots. The makeup of the chenille is :48% Rayon, 28% Polyester, and 24% cotton if that helps.Thank you so much in advance.
I would try Rubbing alcohol and water, 1/4Th alcohol to 1/2 water. use in a place you don't see if it works your in business and you can increase the amount. This combination usually gets all stains out. I would follow with a steam cleaning.

The best secret and it works for cleaning any fabric upholstery is a wet/dry vac. After you put the cleaner on the sofa, use the vac to remove as much moisture as possible (that's what causes the spots) The best cleaner I've found for unindentified stains is lighter fluid like you use in a Zippo lighter. This is basically the same as used by professionals just easier to purchase and cheaper. I squirt it on very liberally then rub very gently with a brush, then vac out all moisture with vac. This prevents it from spotting. After dry if the stain isn't gone trying a water base cleaner and then repeat the brush and vac process. Always do the lighter fluid first because if the stain is oil based and you use water first that will set the stain and then it may not come out. Good Luck!
