Default Spotted Upholstery

I have two stains on the front bottom seat of the 31 S/W I just bought. Has anyone used the colored fabric spray to cover a spot? If anyone has a suggestion please let me know.

Thanks Bill

Mohair or cord? What does the stain appear to be? Grease, food, dirt??
Maybe use woolite upholstery cleaner. Likely not going to make it disappear
I’ve never used a fabrics dye

Depending on stain on natural fabrics such as the brown cottons or mohair, if you can find some Naptha, or dry cleaning fluid, blot with that on a hidden test area 1st. Water based cleaners may leave migrating ring stains if not done properly. If the stain is a lighter color than the surround area, and evidence it has been removed before, one can try coffee or a teabag to gently blot the area very slightly to start. Don't saturate the area, just slight blots to start. The lighter Bedford is the most challenging and may need a professional to do.

Drycleaners use a steam generator to remove most stains.
