TIP*STUBBORN STAINS and SWAFEGA.

HI EVERYONE,
I had stubborn stains on my sofa that just wouldnt come out (tried all shop products and vinegar). I gave up on it until my mother in law mentioned
"SWAFEGA" which is green jelly looking stuff. We smeared and rubbed it onto my sofa material and left it for 20 mins then washed it off and the stain that had been there for 6 months had gone!
So today I put it onto my TOP that had a stubborn on it and it took it off easy- you would never know it had a stain.
I am going to buy a load of this stuff and try it on other things.
I cant believe this stuff and cannot recommend it enough but as a precausion do a test patch first.

I think youll find its Swarfega, Highly used in the motor trade to remove oil
and then theres Tufanega to remove more stubborn oil, its a bit like
the old fashioned mixing of Fairy Liquid and Sugar to remove ground in oil

wasnt sure how it was spelt but looked it up online and found the "swafega" spelling so presumed it was correct ?
EITHER WAY ITS GREAT STUFF!0 -
