Identification of leather types will determine the best approach to remove the blue jean dye stain.

2. Test the brown lace if it bleeds?
3. Is the

If the cream leather and the brown lace are non-absorbent the recommended sequence of process is as follows:

Using the Prep-7.7 with cotton swabs which used overnight to clean, it cloud not clean the blue stain, can I use leather rubber to clean it? If the cleaning need to use solvent, what kind of solvents should be used? Is suitable with acetone?

[Roger Koh]

It is best to do a test prior to the actual application.

Drip a drop of Prep-7.7 on the stain choosing an inconspicuous area.

Let it stay an hour to see if the dye moves, wipe off and reapply on the same spot and leave overnight to inspect again. Otherwise repeat until it response prior to Cleaner-3.8 and Rinse-3.0.

Dye stains response by "Dwell Time" more than "Physical Action" (As the stains might have been penetrated, harsh rubbing may damage the finishes).

Solvent may damage non-solvent resistance leather finishes.
