Upholstery Problem
« on: April 26, 2005, 08:22:55 pm »
Never had this happen before.

Cleaned a suite today.  Flat weave with a check pattern with slighltly raised lines around the checks.  Very good condition with no visable stains.

Cleaned using solutions at 10-1 and rinsed at 300psi with a CFR tool and turbo dryed.  Dryed quickly but now there was stains that where not visable before.  All of them looked like splashes from a liquid.  At first I thought is was blood as she has two dogs but their both males (I checked).

Why did they appear after cleaning and can I get rid of them.  I tried a few spotters but no luck.

thanks
Mark

I had a very similar problem last week, splitters not 100% rinsed out, go back and acid rinse it.

Glynn absolutely on the nail you have used alkaline end of scale with MS some soiling need acid to break it down acetic acid or white wine vinegar will remove problem.

I used to use acid rinse all the time but stopped when started to use microsplitters.  Better stock up on them again.

thanks
