gamezone07 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Spilt a load of yoghurt from the fridge on my nice Ted Baker suit jacket, tried to clean it with my steam cleaner, sponging it, etc, but it hasn't worked and splashes are still there, any ideas, will dry clean work?, its a very specialised wool finish.

Alcoblog Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Spilt a load of yoghurt from the fridge on my nice Ted Baker suit jacket, tried to clean it with my steam cleaner, sponging it, etc, but it hasn't worked and splashed are still there, any ideas, will dry clean, its a very specialised wool finish. Bleach and a Brillo pad shifts most things. Otherwise, take it to a dry-cleaners. You could ask Ted Baker's too, as they seem a helpful lot. I certainly wouldn't have tried steam cleaning it to be honest, but you seem to have gotten away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolyhead Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Dry cleaners use trichloroethylene. I use a very big bottle of cheap nail varnish remover that I got from a cut price shop, to remove various paints and also two part resinous adhesives ("Araldite" types) from my fingers before it dries/ sets. It smells awful, like rotting cabbages, not like acetone, but it works better than the latter. The label says it contains various alcohols plus a small amount of acetone. Just thought someone might like to know. But I haven't used it on woollen suits. Edited September 21, 2015 by woolyhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoblog Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 if you follow any advice from alco then, quite frankly, you deserve what happens I beg your very pardon! On occasion, I have been known to give some very good advice on here, or at least, only mildly apocryphal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
