I have 2 suggestions. I have had dry clean only furniture for years. It really is not the fabric, but at times it is. It's the backing. I have had Crewel through the years and I had then re-done in Crewel. When selecting the fabric, the backing looked like brown Burlap. This is the reason for the no water cleaning. If you get the backing wet, it browns out. The color of the backing wicks to the surface. This is called a Tannin Stain. My first suggestion is to take white Vinegar on a Q-Tip and touch the spot and see if it does not change back to white. If it does, use you blow dryer and see it if it returns to the real color. Then take a white, face cloth and test the color of the Crewel. If you have no color transfer, there is no need to worry. If you remove any color, work carefully. I would then go to a arts and crafts store and purchase a few artist's brushes, dip them in the Vinegar, and dry as you go. This should work if it is wicking.

There is a cleaner which I have used for years called White Wizard. I buy this online, at Home Trends. It looks like Crisco in a small, whipped, butter tub. It removed red wine, coffee, BBQ sauce etc. It removed black shoe polish from any brand new white carpet after a dinner I had given. It's great stuff as I have used it on my ties for grease and I always seem to drag a suit sleave in some type of sauce on a cocktail buffet. It is like a solidified dry cleaning solution. Always use a white cloth. Let us know if any of this works.

Thanks for the comments. I think you may have hit the nail on the head but I am still concerned about the orangey foam. I will try the vinegar and let you know. Can I use white wizard on the Crewel?

That is a classic stain from wet or damp old foam connecting with miniscule dust and such on the fabric.

Years ago I made chair pads and used 2 inch solid foam wrapped in a layer of quilt batting. When the foam was new I could sponge off any food stains. As the foam got old it yellowed and any sponging resulted in a stain just like yours. The only way I could get them clean looking was to wash the whole pad. I would ask an upholsterer if it were possible to dry clean the fabric--or how it should be cleaned-- and what they should be stuffed with. It might be new foam but foam has come a long way since mine were done and I'm sure yours.

You might also like to ask on the upholstery forum.

Thanks. On the new chairs which I want to purchase, it seemed pretty evident that it was from the foam. I asked my upholsterer and he had little faith. I will try this white wizard on the chair I own and see where that gets me, the vinegar only made a larger stain.

I have an expensive white linen with dark blue wool crewel. When I steam ironed it the blue color ran. I tried peroxide and q-tip but the liquid pushed the stain farther. Any suggestions? Thanks, Diana
