  Hey I haven"t cleaned a lot of upholstery, so let me know what is happening here & what i did wrong.
     I cleaned a sofa & loveseat yesterday & my client phoned back & said it is dirtier than before i cleaned it.
     I never checked what kind of material it was because i have never had any problems before.  Just looks like something u would get at the Brick Warehouse or something.
     I used one scoop of suspend in a small pump up ( 1.5 litres )
     I used about 300 psi  
      Water was about 190
  If it is cellulosic browning will fibrerinse reverse it

Check the tags for outer covering contents or do a burn test on a scrap to determine content. Then take it from there. Not likely to brown if it's 100% synthetic. Did you overwet it?

Cmaster

If he used 300Psi..............he more than likely over wet it. Find out how long it took to dry.......that should be your first hint.

Maybe just maybe you put on toooo much prespray and didn't rince it all out. We use the tm all the time and never change the psi.  If you have a good upholstery tool you can do that at the tool. Maybe it was cotton?? As far as portables go I have a US Products  and a Kleen Rite portable hardly ever use them with the tools available today for tms.

If you don't have a Stealth Dry Tool buy one and it will never happen again.

Sounds like you cleaned it with a stair tool. Wet too deep into the sponge and now has wick-back.

Stair tool are for stairs.

If its browning re-clean it with Crystal and used the Stealth Upholstery Tool.

puddle proof,

Crystal Carpet Cleaner is not likely to be found in Saskatchewan. We sell it in Toronto and don't know anywhere else in Canada.

Made by Core products in Texas. Yes, you will probably be able to reverse the situation with Chemspecs Textile Rinse as long as it is browning. If it is a dye run you will have a much larger problem on your hands.
