Crushinboots Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Hello everyone, I was wondering if you could help me? My Girlfriend has a gorgeous leather skirt but unfortunately she put it in the wardrobe and the PVC outfit that was next to it has flaked off as it is old and bits of old black PVC are now stuck to the skirt like tar. How can we get the PVC off the skirt without damaging the leather skirt? Please can anyone help Yours Crushinboots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamyam Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Have you tried your local dry cleaner? There's a whole specialist art to cleaning leather clothes, and they may be able to help. Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 try using a hair drier to soften the pvc and carefully scrape the errant pvc off once it softens. or take it to the dry cleaners only advice I can offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoe guy Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 you could freeze the leather. Leather will not freeze but the latex will. Like removing gum. Freeze it than brake it off. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
