Burn Holes on Microfiber Furniture

RE: Burn Holes on Microfiber Furniture Post by ripmoosedog (4) | (06/22/2008) Contact That is a fun one. That I see often Technique 1 Take a disposable razor and gently shave the fabric in an area that is not easily seen - Underside of sofa or on the sides of back of sofa below the top of the cushion line. Clean burn area- then use waterproof clear craft glue and glue lint into burn until it is filled in and starts to blend in with the rest of the fabric. Technique 2 Flip sofa over - remove large fabric cover panel (if it has one) - then cut a piece of repair fabric from the bottom upholstery where it come up the frame - reattach fabric panel - then clean up burn area & cut patch the same shape of burn but a little lit bigger; glue w/ clear glue give it a couple of tack stitches w/ same color thread & then use needle to fray the edges of the patch until it blends in. Technique 3. For a full hole Same as in above - cut a patch for the hole about the same size as the hole. Get some iron on patch material (use a similar color as sofa) cut to 1/4" bigger than hole - work it shiny(glue) side up under the hole.Dab a bit of clear glue on the underside of repair fabric - then glue to iron on, give it a couple of tack stitches - let dry then - take an old white t-shirt or hankie, place it over patch and press w/ iron - Make sure to use a low to med temp be careful so as not to melt the upholstery but warm enough to set the iron-on patch material to the underside of the hole (you can also test Iron temp on the bottom of sofa. ( I would advise that you do so, just in case) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Burn Holes on Microfiber Furniture Post By Fred (Guest Post) (07/20/2006) got just a small singe on the couch. not even through the fabric. it creates a slight discoloration and indentation in the fabric. How do I remove the stain or lighten the stain. If there is anything to do about the indentation let me know Report Spam or Abuse RE: Burn Holes on Microfiber Furniture Post By Anonymous (Guest Post) (06/04/2006) Well, I doubt you'll be able to restore that kind of damage without re-upholstering! You can start by taking cigarettes (or whatever you're smoking) outside of your home and have your guests do the same. This will ensure ALL your furniture and rugs are safe from dropped cigarettes or carelessness; and it has the added bonus that you'll likely smoke less, which will be beneficial to your health. vacuum the ashes up, then maybe wipe it clean with a damp rag or a sponge. Then take an exacto knife (or some other type of sharp scraping object) and scrape/cut off the burned nubs. Again, wipe with your damp cloth, and in an hour when it's all dry, vacuum up the "bits". Good luck. Report Spam or Abuse
