this man made fabric is wonderful and usually cleans up well--usually. it also remember who touched it last and takes on that shape or impression. they should call it memory suede.
we cleaned it like we usually do and quickly dried it and it looked horrible. it retained every stroke of the brush or cleaning tool and looked like sick corduroy. so we cleaned it again and it happened again.
finally clevering up we knew how to finish the piece. the dirt and soil was gone it was the fabric's finish we were troubled about. we couldn't just tell the client, "your piece is cleaned and sanitized but looks terrible.
what we did was to go over it lightly with a treated cloth and feather the wet to the dry parts.
Little by little the dark turned to light and smooth surface. Home owner pleased. Dog pleased.
everyone went home happy.
