How to Get Cigarette Burns Off a Seat

Smoking cigarettes around furniture can prove disastrous. A dropped cigarette can accidentally burn seats, scarring the upholstery. Whether your furniture is valuable or not, a cigarette burn in a seat is unsightly and requires remedy. Leaving a cigarette burn in a seat unattended can result in further damage, such as additional wear and tear to the upholstery fabric or a larger hole.

Corresponding fabric

Instructions

- 1
  Trim any frayed material or threads from the burned fabric with nail scissors. Smooth the fabric in the burned area, even if there are some missing spots.
- 2
  Use a handheld vacuum to clean the seat around the burned area. Vacuuming the seat will pick up leftover ash so that it will not not stain other sections of the seat.
- 3
  Pour one drop of mild face soap onto a damp rag. Dab the rag over the burned area without rubbing it in. Use a blotting motion to pick up the residue from the burn.
- 4
  Wait for the dampened area on the seat to dry. Vacuum it again to ensure that any excess residue is picked up.
- 5
  Apply a dab of epoxy to a flat wooden stick and spread it thinly over the cigarette burn. This clear coat will seal the edges of the fabric, ensuring that they will not fray.
- 6
  Cover the cigarette burn with a piece of corresponding fabric. Cut a scrap of fabric that is just large enough to cover the burn. Apply fabric glue to the backside of the fabric, and place it glue-side down onto the burn. Hold the fabric in place for 30 seconds and release the pressure. Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before using the chair.
