How Do You Remove Water Spots From Upholstered Furniture?
A wet spot, if left alone, can produce an unsightly stain on upholstery. Pesky round rings left after an area has been wet are known as water spots or water rings. The rings are minerals and debris in the fabric which is pulled to the outer section of the spill while the fabric is wet. Removing these stains can be time consuming but possible with the right set of chemistry. Step 1 Blot while the fabric is still wet from the original spill. Even if the spill is nothing more than water, continue blotting until you can’t pull anymore liquid onto the cloth. The less moisture left in the fabric, the better the chances of not creating a water ring when it dries. Step 2 Dampen a towel with white distilled vinegar. Test it in an inconspicuous area of the fabric as you would with any cleaner. Check for color loss, shrinkage or other fabric damage before proceeding. Step 3 Apply the vinegar to the stain by lightly dabbing with the towel. Do not rub because this can cause fabric distortion. Work
