Stains on headboard

[Scuttlingupabove]

I have an upholstered headboard that has stains from heads ( or the dirt or oil from heads). Lovely. Not from my side of the bed I would like to add.

Ive tried Scotch cleaner and various other remedies but nothing seems to shift it. Any ideas?

I had this same issue and ended up replacing the fabric. It was around £600 but the new headboard looks beautiful, and the bed cost around £2500 originally (nice wooden one from Loaf) and we had lived with the old stained one for 8-9 years. The new fabric is an Aqua clean, dark coloured velvet and a year on there are no stains at all. Whereas the previous fabric was a pale blue and made of a linen/cotton mix. So if you can afford it just bite the bullet and get the upholstery done. I held off as it seemed like a hassle but the upholstery companies often have vans to collect stuff, and we were without it for a few nights only.

I feel like I will end up replacing them but just hoped for a cheaper solution. Maybe I will have to bite the bullet.

I had the same issue on my DH's side. No idea why as he washes his hair every morning. In the end I bought some lovely material. I made a simple slip over cover with ties on the side. Now I can just take it off and wash it as needed.

Same here! What is it with blokes and greasy heads?!

My loaf bed is only a year old so don’t want a new headboard, just a de-greasing solution.

Also people will probably say to try baking soda and stuff like that - I did all of that and no luck. I feel like companies like Loaf should give you a warning before selling you a pale coloured linen mix headboard! Yes the marks were mainly on my partner's side but also on mine, we both have good hygiene and aren't doing anything weird - it's just what happens, a pale/linen mix just isn't suitable for a headboard.
