How do you remove black dye from a sofa cover off a grey sofa?

i have a dove grey leather sofa, put a black cover over it & the dye in the fabric stained it ! I cant seem to find anything to remove the stain, any ideas? Thank you!

  • This happened because you did not set the dye on the cover first. These might help.

    Some of these seem downright hinky and damaging to the leather finish, nail polish remover? I think not.


    I would go to a tack shop and get saddle soap and a good leather cleaner and conditioner. Spending a few dollars to save a sofa that probably costs thousands seems reasonable to me.

    I know this might sound weird , but did you try magic eraser ? I have a light beige leather sofa , and I use magic eraser to clean my sofa . Please try this in an unseen area to test it , to make sure it doesn't pull the color of your sofa off as well .

    Another strange idea ... I also use an amazing carpet cleaner call folex , I found it at home depot for about $6 . This gets everything out of carpets , ink , wine , rust ...It works so well that I keep some in a spray bottle in my laundry room . So maybe put some on a day and gently try wiping your sofa , also try it first in an unseen area to make sure it won't pull the color out of your sofa . Good luck !!!!

    Kellie,. Try using Saddle Soap, it just for leather. Find it at an automotive store, call first. Follow djirectioons for stain and cleaning. Aloha!
