URGENT HELP NEEDED - please im begging

[WelshJellyBelly]

hello

ok im staying at my parents house while they are away on hols my 22 month old dd is here and is being a messy pain in the butt

she has just spread marmalade on the sofa - my mams BRAND NEW SUEDE SOFA - she also threw an ashtray on it in a strop when i took the marmalade on toast off her - please tell me how to clean it - ive got until friday to get it spotless

ffs! I have no idea, I know that soda water is good for lifting stains out, but suede I'm not so sure about - sorry

has she got insurance?

Start with a damp cloth - no detergents.

Don't scrub too much.

Let it dry - you may need to repeat this several times.

If you scrub or use too much water, it will leave a stain.

Give it a once over with the upholstery attachment of the hoover.

With cleaning it, think applying eyeshadow - a little at a time,or you over do it and it all goes Pete Tong.

Good luck.

Found this advice online, hope it helps a bit

? Intervene immediately (within 30 minutes) and begin treating the stain from the outside edge into the centre in order to avoid the stain spreading.
? Never pour a cleaning product directly onto the fabric.
? Before intervening, remove any of the substance that has fallen on the upholstery. In case of thick materials (yogurt, jam, etc.) with a spoon or a plastic spatula, in case of liquid materials with non-printed absorbent paper or a sponge.
? Avoid rubbing to prevent the stain from spreading or going deep into the fabric.
? Use a white cloth or a well wrung sponge for the removal of the stains.
? If you use a sponge, rinse it in clean water and wring it well between each wipe.

Water-soluble stains
It is recommended, depending on the type of stain, that you should use water, lemon juice, or pure ethyl alcohol (from liquors) and follow the instructions below.

Fruit juice, jam, jelly, syrup, ketchup: Use lukewarm water, rinse by dabbing with clean water.
