How To Remove Ink, Blood, Lipstick, or Grease Stains From Leather or Vinyl Mohawk Consumer Products 2014-08-21 | To Purchase, Click here: http://amzn.to/1EQSdH0Other stains that can be removed include grease, engine grime, grass stains, food stains, shoe scuffs, lipstick, perspiration and blood can also be removed.Always test in an inconspicuous area before using.Leather or VinylPlease note: Ink Remover is most effective on recent (within 3 to 5 days) ink stains.Step 1Pre-clean the area with Leather Cleaner or with a Leather Clean and Renew Wipe.Step 2Remove the cap from the Ink Remover tube and push the tube from the bottom to reveal about ¼" of the stick.Step 3 Rub the Ink Remover stick directly onto the stain, making sure to cover the entire mark. Applying the stick from various directions helps get the remover down into the texture of the leather. An application from just one direction could leave voids. Allow the remover to do the work. Don't scrub hard because scrubbing could cause color loss. You will see the ink dissolving as you rub the stick over it. As the stain transfers to the ink stick, wipe off the end of the stick with a tissue or a clean cloth.Step 4When it looks like the ink is dissolved, wash away the residue with Leather Cleaner (or a wipe). Dry the area with a tissue or a clean white cloth. Do not use a colored cloth because color could be transferred to the leather.Step 5Most often, ink stains require 2 or 3 applications of Ink Remover to totally remove the ink. Repeat steps 3 and 4 a time or two more.Step 6If the stain still persists or is hard to get out of the grain of the leather, reapply the Ink Remover. Dip a soft bristled brush (such as a tooth brush) into distilled water, and use the brush to gently scrub the stain.Step 7Wash away the residue with Leather Cleaner (or a wipe). Dry the area with a tissue or a clean cloth. Scrubbing with a brush may be repeated as needed.Step 8Protect the area from spills and soiling by applying Leather Protector with a clean cloth or by using Leather Protector Wipes.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 a time or two more.Step 6If the stain still persists or is hard to get out of the grain of the leather, reapply the Ink Remover. Dip a soft bristled brush (such as a tooth brush) into distilled water, and use the brush to gently scrub the stain.Step 7Wash away the residue with Leather Cleaner. Dry the area with a tissue or a clean cloth. Scrubbing with brush may be repeated as needed.Step 8Protect the area from spills and soiling by applying Leather Protector with a clean cloth or by using Leather Protector Wipes.

Usually there are runners on each side of the bottom and one in the center. If the drawer can be pulled out, the application will be easier. In that case, Slideez™ can also be placed on the brace that holds the drawer up.Sticking drawers with metal slides:Use the applicator to apply Slideez™ to the metal slides whether under the drawer or on the sides of the drawer.

How To Restore, Rebuild and Repair Wood Furniture DIY Mohawk Consumer Products 2014-08-21 | To purchase Epoxy Putty: http://amzn.to/1NEQYSuTo purchase Touch Up Marker: http://amzn.to/1NER2BCFor more information or to purchase:diy-repair-solutions.com/products/surfaces/cabinets/product-details/?product=EPOXY%20PUTTY%20STICKEpoxy Putty Sticks enable you to restore, rebuild and repair all kinds of wood and other hard surfaces. It is easy to use, makes durable repairs that are permanent repairs. It may be drilled, sanded, stained or painted. Note: Colors are approximate representations of actual colors using modern process techniques. Variations may occur.Note:Epoxy Putty is a great filler because it is hard, durable, and it sticks in place very well. It can be used on unfinished wood or finished wood.Choose the correct color Epoxy Putty Stick for your project: Oak/Light Walnut B743-1530 Cherry B743-1550 Natural Maple B743-1580Other supplies needed:Lacquer for Brass (optional) B103-0500Pocket knife or utility knifeLeveler card B898-0002 expired credit card or plastic putty knifeLiquid soap (such as dishwashing liquid) - for finished wood - lacquer thinner for unfinishedTap waterLacquer thinner - for unfinished woodColoring medium (such as a Touch Up Marker)Clear Lacquer Aerosol (Optional) *Rubber or vinyl gloves **Clean absorbent clothWaterproof sandpaper 800 grit **4/0 steel wool (optional) *** Should be the same sheen as your furniture. Use only if you are comfortable with spraying lacquer.** Available at most hardware storesStep 1Mix a small amount of liquid soap into about 2 ounces of water. Keep the soapy mixture ready near where you are making the repair.Step 2Pick the Epoxy Stick that is closest in color to the finish you are repairing.Step 3Use the Leveler Card, an old charge card, or a plastic putty knife to remove any part of the damage that protrudes higher than the surface of the wood.Step 4 Use a knife to cut off a section of the Epoxy Stick that is about the same volume as the area to be filled. Cut parallel to the end of the stick. A section too large will not cause a problem. A section too small will result in the need for a second filling.Step 5Use your hands (rubber or vinyl gloves are suggested) or a putty knife to knead the Epoxy Stick that you have cut off until the color is uniform. If the color is marbleized, more kneading is required. The working life of the Epoxy is about 6 minutes after mixing.Step 6Push the mixed Epoxy into the damage until none of the damage is exposed. Wetting your fingers (or the gloves) with tap water will keep the Epoxy from sticking to them.Step 7For finished wood: Dip your finger into the soapy mixture and distribute it over the Epoxy in the damage. For unfinished wood: Apply lacquer thinner and distribute it over the Epoxy in the damage.Step 8Use the Leveler Card, credit card, or plastic putty knife to shape the Epoxy by pulling off the excess away from the damage. Repeat this procedure until the Epoxy is level with the surface of the wood. Continually redistribute the soapy mixture (or add more lacquer thinner for unfinished wood) as you work. If your damage is rounded, you'll have to pull the card according to the contour of the curve so the filler will be the correct shape. If your damage is flat, simply pull the card over the damage from the most advantageous direction until the filler is flat and level with the surface.Step 9If wet, dry the area with the cloth being careful not to distort the curing Epoxy fill.Step 10Allow the filled area to harden for at least 20 minutes.Step 11If you are filling unfinished wood that needs to be stained, sand with 180 grit aluminum oxide sandpaper, especially since sanding increases stainability. If, as in our case, you are working on finished wood, sand with 800 grit waterproof sandpaper, being careful not to break through the finish into the color. Use the soapy mixture as a lubricant for the sandpaper.Step 12Use a properly colored Touch Up Marker (as offered on this website) to color over the filled area or the area may be stained.Step 13 (optional)You may choose to top coat the damage. Whatever you decided to do, try it first in an inconspicuous area to be sure there are no bad reactions. You will have to make a determination as to what finish is appropriate. You may decide to brush on a varnish. If you are comfortable with spraying lacquer from an aerosol, you may be able to spray the damaged area with clear lacquer. Lacquer for Brass is available on this website and is suitable for use on wood as well as brass, as long as the wood has a fairly shiny finish. If the finish is flat, Lacquer for Brass will be too shiny. After the lacquer dries, use a pad of 4/0 steel wool to lower the sheen. Flatter lacquer aerosol finishes are available at many hardware stores. If you are not comfortable with spraying lacquer, we suggest that you do not perform this step.
