Effective Brilliant Green Removal Methods
Hydrogen peroxide
A simple and effective way to remove stubborn green stains. All thanks to the special oxidizing properties of hydrogen peroxide, which allows you to “get” pollution from the fibers of the material. The procedure is simple: pour a small amount of the substance onto the area of leatherette stained with greenery, then blot the liquid with neat, confident movements using a cotton napkin. Rinse the treated area with clean water.
Advice. It is undesirable to use hydrogen peroxide to treat dark fabrics – the composition can easily discolor the product, regardless of whether it is clothes or upholstered furniture.
Soda
Regular baking soda is an all-purpose cleaner for most stains, and Brilliant Green Solution is no exception. Before using soda, it is advisable to treat the contaminated area of u30bu40bthe product with soapy water. Then thickly sprinkle the stain with soda powder. Leave to react with brilliant green for XNUMX-XNUMX minutes. Then carefully remove the remaining powder from the material and walk on its surface with warm water until any traces of soda are removed.
Ammonia
To effectively remove the brilliant green solution from the leatherette, you must strictly follow the recommendations. The first step is to lightly dampen a natural cloth cloth with the ammonia solution. The second step is to blot the area of uXNUMXbuXNUMXbthe product contaminated with brilliant green with intense short movements. The third step is to dissolve a small amount of laundry soap in warm water. The fourth step is to treat the surface of the leather substitute with the resulting composition. And finally, the last step is to rinse the area with clean, cool water. Let dry.
White Spirit
This tool is indispensable for removing dirt from brilliant green from light or white leatherette. But before using it, it is important to check the “reaction” of the product on its inconspicuous area. After that, you can start processing the surface. First of all, apply the cleaning composition to a cotton rag, then walk on the leather substitute with this cloth and allow time for effective action.
After a few minutes, remove the composition from the surface of the product using a clean cloth and clean cool water.
Important. White spirit is a rather toxic substance that, with prolonged contact, can cause irritation of the respiratory tract and mucous membranes of the eyes. To avoid this problem, it is important to use reliable protective equipment (gloves, respirator, etc.) and work in a well-ventilated area.
Treating stains on furniture
The appearance of stains from brilliant green on upholstered furniture is also not uncommon. A single accidentally spilled drop of this antiseptic is enough to spoil the appearance of the product. If the contamination is fresh enough, it can be easily removed using one of the methods listed above. But if the pollution is already old, the problem is much more serious.
It is worth trying to remove the green spot with salicylic alcohol. Apply the substance pointwise to the contaminated area and after a minute wipe the surface of the furniture with a soft sponge. If this is not enough, you will have to try, wielding the same sponge and laundry soap. Intense and prolonged exposure to leatherette, coupled with sunlight, will help solve the problem.
Important. If brilliant green got not only on the leatherette, but also on the wooden elements of upholstered furniture, it is worth considering that it can only be removed from the varnished surface. In all other cases, sanding will be required. To remove brilliant green from varnished wood, you can use a proven method – a mixture of alcohol and lemon juice. Apply this composition very carefully with a cotton pad or cotton swab. Then carefully wipe with a clean cloth to a perfect shine.
