Things You Will Need
Cleaning a stain that has sunk into the chenille fabric involves using a delicate balance to remove the blemish without pulling out or damaging the yarn.
-
Wet a white paper towel with water and squeeze out the excess liquid. Gently dab at the stain on the chenille sofa, working from the outside edges of the mark towards the center. Avoid rubbing the fabric with the paper towel and blot only. Remove as much of the stain that will lift from the chenille sofa.
-
Apply 1/2 tsp. dry cleaning solvent to a clean white cloth. Softly blot the remaining stain with the cleaner. Inspect the stain after blotting for 20 seconds. If the stain remains, continue adding additional solvent to the cloth and blotting the stain until it disappears.
-
Brush the affected area lightly with a soft baby brush to restore the fabric and remove any flat or matted areas caused from the cleaning procedure.
