Red Clay Soil. Tips to remove Red Clay Soil stains on upholstery

If you have a red clay stain on your upholstery, one of the best things that you can do is let the clay dry on the upholstery, and then trying to fight out that stain will be much easier.

This may take a day or two if you have a lot of clay on the upholstery or just a few hours if it is just a little bit. After the red clay is dry, vacuum off the red clay that is dried and comes out easily, try not to vacuum to much in one spot, with the sucking of the vacuum, you might stretch out your upholstery making it out of shape.

Spray the stained area with clear water after you have vacuumed off the upholstery. Spray with water, dab and blot until you are not able to bring any more of the red clay stain out the fabric.

Keep changing your towel so you know for sure if you are still bringing out more of the red clay stain. If you still have a red clay stain remaining, make a mixture of water and a clear bleach free detergent.

Spray this on the red clay stained area, and dab and blot off so that you are left with a clean upholstery fabric.Continue as long as you are bringing out more of that red clay stain. Rinse the upholstery where the red clay stain was using a clear water spray.

Spray on a few squirts of water and the blot off until you have gotten all of the suds out of the upholstery. Rinse your upholstery one last time with a mixture of water and vinegar to ensure that you have gotten all of the detergent out of the upholstery.

Use a mixture of half and half vinegar and water, blotting off with a clean towel.
