Hi, my client wants me to remove fake tan stains from her mattress.
she's tried removing it by using Vanish carpet cleaner to no avail. The stain has set in obviously.
Now which one of these spotters would be most effective for this job? (My local supplier sells these.)
I haven't used these products before as I've always used generics with mixed results.
I've ran out of spotters and would like to try brand names this time, hence why I need your help.
