Dye from jeans transferred to chair - Help!

Some dye from my new dark blue jeans has transferred to one of my dining room chairs (which have white fabric seats!). Any ideas how to get it out? I was thinking using one of those white eraser sponges and white soap.

I got red cranberry juice stains out of a cream sofa and cream curtains by using vanish.
I diluted a bit of it in water and used a clean dishcloth wrung out in the solution and wiped it over. Keep rinsing the dishcloth under the tap to get rid of colour and then dipping it into vanish solution. The cranberry disappeared in front of my eyes like magic.Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away. – Hilary Cooper

I am a professional carpet and upholstery cleaner
Dye transfer from new(ish) jeans is a common problem. If its just one or two cushions the whole suite would not need cleaning, so a competent professional should be able to remove 90% of it at a reasonable charge.0 -
thanks warwicktiger, I was hoping to do it myself as the seat covers are not removeable.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

don't bother with magic sponge - it only works on hard surfaces.
I would suggest sponging gently with a mix of biotex or bio washing powder in warm water. if the dye fades then keep doing it. if it doesn't then you can get cleaning products such as 'dabitoff' for spot cleaning on fabrics which are dry clean only?
if you think the fabric can take it, then try steam cleaning it and wiping the stain between 'steamings'.0 -

Not at all, I just hate the jobs where "Oldstylers" have a go with whatever is under the kitchen sink. Tell me, how do the "oldstylers" properly rinse out the cleaning agents if the manage to remove the stain?0
