Ekornes Stressless leather chair with headrest perspiration stain.
I have an Ekornes *stressless chair that I would like to treat for a stain from perspiration which happened years ago. I used to be a *daily runner/jogger *and one day I sat in the chair when my hair was wet from perspiration, I did not notice until later, but my perspiration caused a permanent stain.* Other that the spot ( see photo attached), the chair is in very good condition.
*
I am probably expecting too much, but if possible would like to get rid of the stain.* Is it possible?*
*
*
Here are photos of the perspiration stain I was referring to. As I mentioned, I tried to use saddle soap, and that make things worse. See also the pdf file where I have a comment.
*
As you can see the back of the chair is one piece of leather rather than separate panels. It also has six buttons which might add to the restoration effort.**
Background:* The chair is about 15 years old and has been in storage.* It is an Ekornes Stress type and the color is a brown.*
*
I would like to remove the stain, but am hesitant to try and do the whole back section because I do not want to ruin it.…any suggestions appreciated.
*
Can you tell from the photos if the leather is pigmented?
*
Thanks again for your recommendations.
*
Best regards,
*
