| At our Thanksgiving celebration yesterday, my sister sat on our white pleather/leather-ette banquette with brand new brown leather pants. Unfortunately, the dye in her leather pants rubbed off and stained the banquette cushion. I didn't notice the stain until this morning, and I've tried everything on it...Magic Eraser, OxyClean, Windex, etc. and the stain is not budging. The stain is about the size of a small pillow. Does anyone have any tips on dye transfer on leather-ish material? Thanks! |

| Hi, I hope by now you were able to remove the dye. If not, have you tried rubbing alcohol? |
|
| Excess plasticizer meets poorly fixed dye. Soap and water, hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol (isopropyl), denatured alcohol, paint thinner, naphtha. Test in a hidden spot since some of the petroleum solvents can damage "pleather/leather-ette" depending on what it is made from (typically plastic). |
