Good evening all. I’ve been reading this site for quite a number of years but never posted.
The time has come where I’d like to ask for some advice please.
I have had a leaky window this winter gone and I now have water stains on a couple of my cabin cushions.
Could anyone please advise on how or what I can use to clean it?
Many thanks in advance.

We had the same. Took them to several dry-cleaners who ummed and aaahed and couldn't help. Se we just hand washed the covers on cold water with a dash of soap. dried them carefully and as good as new. That may not be the case for all uphlsotery fabrics. Can you test a bit?

Thanks all. Not removable ( at least not without a lot of hassle). I will try giving a gentle hand wash with some soap, if no luck will try a bit of vinegar.
Thanks

Maybe try using Starbrite MSR Black Stain remover? (MSR stands for mould stain remover I believe). After lockdown I had this problem on our upholstery, tried lots of things, and then the local chandler recommended this. I was dubious at first, tried it, never looked back.
