I recently found upholstered chairs and I noticed a yellow stain on the fabric. The stains look as thought they were owned by a smoker. Not Sure. Has anyone had this problem? The fabric is woven pretty tightly, so not sure how to get the stain out. Any suggestions?

Spot Shot, blue & orange aerosol spray can (walmart, lowes, hm depot). LIfts stains, ink, chocolate milk, etc from cloth anything. Wayyyy better than hairspray. I had a couch with light tan velour-suede-like fabric & my nephew took a black ink pen and drew circles all over it. Spot Shot and a clean white or light color kitchen towel 'lifted' it completely out & easy. After spraying the ink (and chocolate milk the following week!) all i had to do was lay the towel over the ink, press 2-3 times (no rub) & ink lifted onto the towel w/o ruining the nap of the fabric. For leather cleaning of oil stains: any products containing naptha. There is naptha soap, Jackie below noted Fels brand (good on all cloth too), Ronsonol lighter fuel (zippo lighters also at auto supply stores) and you can get large quantities of naptha where you find paint thinning supplies. It will safely pull out oil from cloth and lether w/o damaging the dye (test in small spot first). Lady with the red vinyl halloween boots & scuff marks-get a box of Mr. Clean magic erasers!

I have used saddle soap to remove ink or other stains from leather purses. It worked well. I also use saddle soap to clean leather belts and shoes. Use saddle soap according to directions on the can. It can usually be purchased in the shoe polish department in the suppermarkert or a department store such as Wal-Mart. The use of saddle soap cleans your leather purse and other items and extends the life and use of them.

I had water spots on some of my landlords furniture, what works really well is petroleum jelly, just dab it on, leave on for awhile and then wipe off! Mine were prety deep so I had to keep applying for a bit, but they disappeared!

I have what looks to be a water spot on my wood kitchen table. How would I go about removing it.

If you want to remove pen from leather... try the alcohol from the white bottle, 91% alcohol, isopropyl... worked for me on old ink stains on our leather couch.. just keep applying it with a cotton ball and rub gently!

To remove ink, use hairspray. I doubted this advice when it was given to me--but dang, it really works! Spray area, dab with soft white cloth, repeat until it disappears.

If you have a nasty grease stain, don't FRET!!!! Just put some baby powder on it *I have used both regular baby powder & baby powder with cornstarch and BOTH work equally as well* Allow the powder to sit for about 20 minutes then simply brush it off and you will see that the powder absorbed the grease. It works EVERY time for me. THANK goodness!!!
