Foundation in Sofa!!!

LottieB

Hi all

I have got a lovely cream sofa - stupidest thing I ever bought! I have to wash the covers once a month practically because I am always spilling things on it! Usually everything comes out in the wash; but I've recently spilt liquid foundation on it. This is what I've tried so far to clean it;

- scrubbing with fairy liquid
- scrubbing with hand soap
- stardrops diluted
- stardrops neat and left on for ages
- stardrops neat scrubbed into the stain until my arm hurt!!
- washing it with normal washing powder
- washing it with washing powder + white vinegar + stardrops


but the stain won't come out I am probably going to end up buying new sofa covers; but before I do - does anyone have any other ideas???

Thanks
Lottie

I reckon you've probably tried everything and the stain is set now, but you could get a quote from a professional cleaner, to see if dry-cleaning might bring it out.

Good luck

How about trying make up removal wipes?

ACE Bleach is quite good for stains.

Which foundation is it, my daughter has got some on the collar of her white games polo shirt.....I can't shift it, have even thrown bleach into the wash.
Lord knows what it does to her skin.

I was going to suggest makeup remover, ACE or vanish as well but I agree that it may well be set now
