Fabric Protector Staining Upholstery?
by Jim Pemberton - the Fine FabriCare Guy

I was contacted by a fine fabric specialist who noted that a
polyester microfiber fabric had a yellow discoloration remaining
after cleaning.

Communication with the customer revealed that they had applied
several coats of fabric protector purchased at a local hardware
store. Their question to me was:

"Could fabric protector discolor upholstery?"

The answer is yes!

have an unbelievable situation with phones.
