White (damp?) marks on 3 piece suite covers
Posted: Fri Jan 17, 2020 10:42 am
I've just been to a house we look after which is closed for the Winter. The house hasn't been heated but the weather has not dropped below freezing so far this year.
I was in the house a few weeks ago and didn't notice any marks on the 3 piece suite covers but did see them today. The covers are dark blue and there are white stains on all the seats, back cushions and the arms of the chairs. These look like damp marks - the seating has got damp and cold?
I need to tell the owner about this and what can be done so, question is: Can I take the covers off and wash them myself (they are machine washable) or will the marks/stains require specialist cleaning?
The house has been rented for about ten years and is closed every Winter and there hasn't been a similar problem before now.
