Often on white and light fabrics, mattresses and beds people find light yellow stains and streaks. As a rule, this is the result of a chemical reaction of the fabric with an aggressive acidic or alkaline environment: urine or sweat. The fact is that the fibers of fabrics are etched with tannin, which reacts with liquids and gives out a light yellow tint. Stale tannin stains are extremely difficult to get out, so seek professional help as soon as the stain has set in.
One of the main reasons to call a professional dry cleaner is urine stains on mattresses and sofas. Do not try to clean the product from urine on your own. Without special means and equipment, you will only smear the stain, increasing its area and depth of penetration. Also, when mixed with water and some cleaning products, you will increase the odor of urine. To effectively remove urine from a mattress or sofa, we use reagents that break down urea and its components, and then suck it out with an extractor using negative pressure. This is the only technology that produces a positive result.
Different types of fabrics react differently to cleaning agents and solvents. In our practice there are situations when some dense fabrics - jacquard and others are difficult to clean due to the complexity of the weave of organic and synthetic fibers. If silk thread is added to the fabric, it is necessary to use chemical reagents with extreme caution, conducting a series of tests. Otherwise, you can ruin a valuable thing. Cleaning of such furniture is always a reasonable compromise between stain removal and preservation of expensive fabric upholstery.
