Hello all!
I posted a few weeks ago about getting denim transfer on my new Red China Pillow:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/china-red-color-transfer.987761/
I tried to use it and enjoy it but I just could not do it. I was so self-conscious about the dark stain, trying to always hide the "bad" side, that it was not fun. So inspired by ksuromax, I decided to try to clean it.
I used Woolite mixed with water, q-tips, paper towels, water, and a clean white cloth
How I did it:
I dipped the q-tip into the Woolite mixed with water, tapped into a paper towel to get excess water out, and gently rubbed in into the weave. I dipped the other side of the q-tip into water, tapped it on the paper towel, and rubbed again into the weave to clean the soap. The weaves were never "wet", only gently touched by the wet q-tip. I then dried it with the clean cloth. I used a clean q-tip for each weave, and worked my way into all the weaves. You can see how the denim transferred into the q-tip.
I hope pictures can show the difference.

During & After:
And the result
Ta-da
I am so happy! I can now enjoy my Pillow

Holy crap! Thank you so much for posting; I may have to try that with some of my beige bags!
I am so thrilled for you! You are so brave and it really paid off. Hope you enjoy your bag for years to come![emoji6]

Good job
So glad it worked out! The bag looks really amazing - enjoy red China! It is my favorite red of all time...
mmhh.. good question. Sorry, I did not measure but from the way I did it, I would say 1 : 3.
If you try the "woolite" method, let us know the results! Good luck
