Members Mocivnik Posted March 9, 2023 Members Report Posted March 9, 2023 So I got this girl, who brought me brand new skirt she bought, and got stained "without doing anything". Her statement was, that she just folded it over a coathanger and store it in the closet, when she wanted to take it off, it was stained like this. Now my question: what are those stains and how am I supposed to remove them? Material is faux leather (face-dirty: polyurethane, inside is polyester). I tried: isopropanol, 70% alcohol, acetone. First two did nothing, while acetone made a huge mess (thank got I tried on a small piece at the edge). Quote
Members nylonRigging Posted March 11, 2023 Members Report Posted March 11, 2023 wow .. Acetone I would think be a little hot for nylon/poly weave . ( me ) I would recommend what I have cleaned a lot of Nylon gear and Para Gear fabric for stain, using Naptha/ Zippo Lighter Fluid . I have even had good luck even removing Black Creosote off of Nylon rip-stop fabric with it . . Quote

Even I have bought something and not noticed a fault with it untill later Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Never heard of Naptha, but I have some Zippo lighter fluid at home, resting. Deff. will try (swab test at first for sure). Also, a bit concerned of how to get rid of the odor smell?

Well, ofcourse....I forgot about the easiest thing Deff. will try today! On 3/11/2023 at 8:37 AM, Handstitched said: Is it just me , or does that ' ink stain' look like a foot print?? What was it resting against in the closet? Thought of it, but I think it's not. It was supposed to be resting against some trousers/jacket, no idea what exactly. I asked, but was told "some other clothes". On 3/11/2023 at 6:24 PM, fredk said: You could be correct Was the mark on the skirt when bought and not noticed? I know that has happened with other people I know. Even I have bought something and not noticed a fault with it untill later Asked aswell, she said no. And it's been too long already so she could return it to the store, so that's the reason I got involved into this. Quote

' Zippo lighter ' .it a very High flash-rate, so it evaporates Super fast out of fabric, and I have never noticed it leaving any odor/smell afterwards . It a overlooked gem that cleans great, and not Hot that it remove any color or melts any synthetics/nylon or poly . Just spray some out of the can on a piece of fabric and leave it till Dry, and take a 'sniff ' . . Edited March 14, 2023 by nylonRigging Quote
Members Mocivnik Posted March 14, 2023 Author Members Report Posted March 14, 2023 Tried warm water, warm water + detergent, zippo lighter fluid...nothing works at all. Im slowly giving up. Quote
Members Handstitched Posted March 14, 2023 Members Report Posted March 14, 2023 Its very rare, but do you have any white dye?...or perhaps bleach ? or, try a little white leather paint? Its a long shot, Just sayin' I only have a very small amount of white dye left, and very sparingly used.
