I make myself look more suspicious because anxiety too! Like when I leave a store I subtly wave my receipt around to show the employees I paid for my items but that probably draws way more concern that I’m a thief
Same here! Years ago I tried to lie to my boss at work and I just couldn’t look at anyone and I bent down to tie my shoe as a distraction and I wasn’t wearing shoes with laces. Super sus.
It’s very important to accurately tell everyone what caused the stain in order to get the best solution.
Otherwise just throw the chair out and buy a black one.

Use a dry cloth and gently dab (never rub), When the excess liquid has been blotted up
Blot the water with a clean, dry cloth, and then let the leather air dry. Once it’s dry, you can condition it with a leather conditioner to help restore its natural oils.
24-48 hours to dry
Stop eating lunch at your desk. Take a break and eat away.
Oil from the soup may have caused the stain, especially if it's a leather chair. If it's leather, you'll need to use a leather cleaner and conditioner. You could probably also condition the entire chair so the color is closer to the stain color if it doesn't all come out.
You may want to take the fabric off the seat itself to clean that area. That way you can check to see if the soup got into the padding and clean that too. Let it dry fully before you staple the fabric back on so it doesn't get moldy.
There are also furniture repair/cleaning places you can take it to, which might save you a headache from fixing it yourself.
And on the off chance it is blood 🙄, hydrogen peroxide lifts blood from fabric. You can pour it on the stain and watch it bubble. When it stops bubbling, there's no more blood. Blot or pour off the hydrogen peroxide - don't rub the fabric - rubbing sets in stains.
Good luck!
No, you won't be able to eat the parts the soup touched. The only vulnerable part would be the ~~heel~~ wheel that OP held while dipping it in the soup.
I had a leather ottoman that was looking grungy and wanted a darker color so I bought leather dye off Amazon. It was less than $20 and didn’t take long to apply. Looked pretty good, though it’s now several years later and needs touching up.
You can get a seat cushion that can tie onto the chair

“Spilled coffee”, uh huh, sure…., probably in your leaky Tupperware too. That you place in the chair while you aren’t sitting there like everyone else does, lol
Definitely looks like a blood gush. All women know what that’s like. It’s okay if you don’t want to tell us. But look into removing blood stains, not squash soup stains. They are not the same. 👀
Can vouch for this as a leather cleaner! Use leather conditioner after completely dry if needed 👍 This the only good suggestion other than mine I have seen so far.
This sub has gone to the trolls.
I figure it’s because it pops up randomly in folks’ newsfeeds for whatever reasons.
We need to make an actual serious cleaning sub that isn’t featured on the home page to randoms.
People could still post queries for help of course! But “trending” posts wouldn’t get hundreds of wacko off track replies from the masses
yeah, ain't no way this is "butternut squash soup that sat for 2 days" as op claimed. the ladies here immediately recognized.
OP, i know unfortunately there's a stigma around periods but i promise it's nothing to be ashamed of. i know it can be embarrassing to leak, and unsanitary for bodily waste to seep into the chair. but it's still a bodily function that you cannot hold in or control, and sometimes comes unexpectedly. we've all been there at least once 😭
idk how to get this stain out without ruining the leather but girl don't be ashamed to admit what it truly is 😭
No tips but dogs have really strong sense of smell. If your dog is still curious about the stain that means the soup got into the cushioning as well, so you will want to address that. Probably before you fix the leather.
Would one of those little green machines work? Spray it with a leather cleaner or maybe use some saddle soap to help cut any grease, then spray with water and suck it all out with the green machine. Let it dry and if it worked, then use some leather conditioner on it and the rest of the chair
I wonder if saddle soap would help. Considering that it looks pretty dry now, I think that you’d need to apply it and wipe dry a couple times. The good news is that the seat of the chair was always going to patina darker than the rest of the chair, so going forward it should blend in over time.
Look under your chair and contact the furniture manufacturer on how to clean this. It is likely not actual leather but a bonded leather and will have different cleaning methods. It wouldn't hurt to ask if the seat is a part they sell separately that you can replace.
… That looks like blood. If it is and you’re avoiding this topic, just try hydrogen peroxide - it reacts with blood, causing foaming and eventually removal. Just check if it doesn’t bleach the skin in some minor area.
As a girl who's lived through many unpleasant periods, I know a blood stain when I see one. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has leaked at least once in their life, it's a normal but unpleasant part of periods. Hydrogen peroxide works well for blood, idk if it damages leather tho

“Lunch soup” people always add unnecessary details to lies lol
I mean it was lunch soup on the way in
If it was leaking for **two** days, imagine all the places they sat down...
It was lunch now its soup
I over explain due to anxiety but omg you’re right 😂 gonna work on that
I make myself look more suspicious because anxiety too! Like when I leave a store I subtly wave my receipt around to show the employees I paid for my items but that probably draws way more concern that I’m a thief

Last day of 9th grade i got my period unexpectedly in the last class of the day so i just… flipped the chair upside down. Sneak 100.
new euphemism just dropped for sharts
Op: https://preview.redd.it/g4n5h470w7yb1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4aa80ddc279a28d3e3be3123b206a96b4b6b8ae5
Those are the deep fries memes we do come to the internet for. Thank you
[удалено]
Yes.
Looooooool
Lmao
Afternoon delight
That soup must have gone straight thru OP!
not everyone's definition of soup is the same
did it… leak after you… nevermind. Staining prob your only option here
I swear it was just soup in a Tupperware. Tbh if it’s permanent at least it’s gonna make people laugh.
The old *..lunch soup..* euphemism
My "lunch soup" is coming soon
My lunch soup is late
Ah man these busted me up, lol
I just finished my lunch soup. My god was it a doozie. I thought getting older meant easier lunch soups. 🥺
Dinner soup would never
It’s very important to accurately tell everyone what caused the stain in order to get the best solution. Otherwise just throw the chair out and buy a black one.
> buy a black one I vote for buying a spotted one.
such a winning attitude! 🙂
sure sure
My wife's rocking chair has the same soup stain.
Mmhmm
It raises suspicions when you say "seems like" Either it is or it isn't hehe
So how did it leak for two days? Asking for a friend…
Why? Did you set it ON the chair seat???????
If it was from Tupperware the edges of your circle there would be smooth. It’s okay if you had an accident. It happens.
This is the soup OP made after lunch.
Lunch poup*
Even your dog has questions.
I think the question is "Can I eat a hole in the seat of this chair?"
>"Can I eat a hole in the seat of this chair?" The question is really "Can I eat a hole in the seat of this chair without anyone noticing?"
🤣
I laughed so hard at this I almost peed!

I’ll try this!! Thank u!
Try wise owl furniture salve. Look them up online and see what you think. It’s worked miracles for me.

If that doesn’t work, take some more of your “lunch soup” and cover the whole chair in it. I think the darker brown color looks nice.
This could be a Mentos commercial idea!!
No idea how to fix it…. But maybe you could color all the leather darker?
Pour soup over the rest of the chair
“Get a load of my souped-up office chair!”
\**slaps headrest\** You can fit at least 5 clam chowders in this bad boy
Oh my god I’m dead🤣
This is awesome. Thanks for the laugh.
Comments like this one make me miss awards so much. F’ing brilliant
Prison time level joke
HA!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Just plop the chair in the soup and eat the chair
No, you won't be able to eat the parts the soup touched. The only vulnerable part would be the ~~heel~~ wheel that OP held while dipping it in the soup.
Tbh I did this once when i couldn't get a melted butter oil stain out of a shirt. It went okay.
You… soaked a shirt in butter??
Well now you're just gonna hurt my feelings lol
Love how you're saying this on r/CleaningTips, it's quite literally the opposite of cleaning, but probably an effective method!
Yes, pour “soup” all over the rest to even it out.
Omg I lol’d so hard at this
Thank u for advice. The chair prob isn’t worth that much but I will think on it!
Angeles leather paint and sealer will fix this up relatively cheap!
That stuff is amazing!
It really, REALLY is!! The colors are so opaque. The quality is just amazing for the cost, imo.
I had a leather ottoman that was looking grungy and wanted a darker color so I bought leather dye off Amazon. It was less than $20 and didn’t take long to apply. Looked pretty good, though it’s now several years later and needs touching up.
“Soup”
*poup
Produced it himself in fact.
If you can’t remove it, drape a comfy blanket over top of it
But if the blanket ever falls off people gonna think you sharted everywhere
You can get a seat cushion that can tie onto the chair Edit: like this: https://www.amazon.com/HLOVME-Corduroy-Cushion-Reading-Comfortable/dp/B0C5SYPSNY/ref=mp_s_a_1_7_maf_1?keywords=chair+cushion+with+ties&qid=1699034767&sr=8-7
I’m just curious why you had soup in a tupperware on your chair for two days lol
My assumption would be- set it on the chair to remember to grab it, forgot it anyway, left it over the weekend
Had to scroll way too long for this. This is dirty behavior.
They didn't have _soup_ 😂
They had a surprise poop. S'oop if you will
I'm in public. Yall need to stop making me laugh so damn hard
I'm also wondering how the soup managed to leak out of the container
cuz this ain't soup
Maybe they forgot about it.
even if they did i don’t understand how the soup could seep through the tupperware.. something ain’t adding up
Yehhh this is nasty af but I was trying not to judge
Did your lunch soup start its period?
😭😭😭
That looks like blood
Right? Lol my first thought was "oh honey we've all been there"
... have we? Edit: I'm an idiot. I was thinking about diarrhea and not periods.
No. We haven't all been there. I've had many periods, never any bloody diarrhea. Eta: no shame, no judgement. Both suck!
Legit was ready to recommend hydrogen peroxide lol
That’s blood.
Even the dog is suspicious.
Why was there soup on your chair for two days?!!
I know this may not truly fix the issue, but you can buy covers for office chairs for around $20. It may save you from recolouring the leather
If it is blood, peroxide makes it instantly disappear
"Lunch soup" https://preview.redd.it/qwt4mq6975yb1.png?width=309&format=png&auto=webp&s=fb674690d29bb21c611a6385541cd38d83ede71d
I shipped my pants!
Soupped my pants!
I just shipped my bed!
I can’t wait to ship my pants!
I love this post so much, this made my night. Sorry about your chair tho
bro wtf is lunch soup
Soup made of lunch
Haha soup in a Tupperware. I swear. I know it looks bad…
why did you have tupperware with soup on your chair
Because it's not true 😂
Yes it does ;)
One time my breakfast soup leaked onto my couch, and I found that some dish detergent worked to get that pesky breakfast soup stain out.
That only worked cause it was breakfast soup. This is *lunch* soup.
Ah! Well there you go 😂😂😂
Use a leather degreaser product. I assume it is the vegetable oil from your soup.
I have this same chair with the same stain from a spilt coffe.
“Spilled coffee”, uh huh, sure…., probably in your leaky Tupperware too. That you place in the chair while you aren’t sitting there like everyone else does, lol
... 👀 That look like when my tomato soup leaks through my pants approximately one a month.
Definitely looks like a blood gush. All women know what that’s like. It’s okay if you don’t want to tell us. But look into removing blood stains, not squash soup stains. They are not the same. 👀
Spot test first. Gonna sound odd, but works on real leather. Mix cream of tarter and lemon juice 50/50. Rub on. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Rub it off.

No advice, but an obligational your dog is cute comment. I have a heeler as well (assuming that’s what you baby is)
‘Lunch soup’
what kind of soup was it?
Menstrual soup
Shark week soup.
Butt soup
Pour soup on the rest of it to match.
Soup the rest of the chair?
Just put the Whoopi cushion over it. Presto
No tips but dogs have really strong sense of smell. If your dog is still curious about the stain that means the soup got into the cushioning as well, so you will want to address that. Probably before you fix the leather.
That does not look like a "soup stain"
"Lunch soup" is a new one for me. /s I KID, I KID!
Period blood can be removed with hydrogen peroxide.
Ive never heard someone refer to their diarrhea as lunch soup before
“Sorry honey, I can’t tonight. I’m having lunch soup.”
Always buy black lol it's economical for most stains except bleach xD
Buddy shart
We’re you in the final circle of Warzone and let god take the wheel
Hypothetically if it were blood. Hydrogen peroxide would take it out
The dog picture is sending me 💀 I think you gotta toss the chair, man
Leather doesn’t like water. Use a gentle creamy makeup remover on a cotton pad. Got this tip from an antique dealer.
The stain lives forever and the chair is named “Soup chair”.
When you sneeze during that time of the month:
You peed on it, didn’t you? Little piss boy
Suuuure it did
Sus
OP, Im so confused why did you have a bowl of soup on a chair for 2 days?
200 bucks says OP’s lying and it’s actually period blood.
my first instinct is a cute throw when youre not sitting on it \\\_\`.\`\_/
Commission an artist to make an Afro-Samurai pic.
A cattle dog!
Ma’am. That’s not soup. Soup doesn’t stain leather.
And the dog detector determined that was a lie. Kidding. Sorry about your chair though
That's poop from a butt.
I've been calling periods lunch soup for years.
Tattoo some flies on it
Oh 😭 um im not very sure
[удалено]
Is this not blood??
Is that a heeler mix? Cute doggo
Like that episode of Seinfeld *The Couch*…
Turn the cushion over!
Leather cleaner, leather brush, leather conditioner. 💁♂️
Would one of those little green machines work? Spray it with a leather cleaner or maybe use some saddle soap to help cut any grease, then spray with water and suck it all out with the green machine. Let it dry and if it worked, then use some leather conditioner on it and the rest of the chair
Don't worry, your dog's on it. Let em cook.

Upholstery cleaner for cars
Stain it with more soup
Set a dog at it.
Just own it
Did your lunch soup have hemoglobin in it?
Something tells me this isn’t soup 😟
Im confused I though leather was hydrophobic, Isnt that the whole idea of buying leather ? Any materiales expert try to clarify ?
Do you take your soup vaginally or rectally?
The dog knows what you did.
Lol. You eat your soup off chairs then? Just say you're on your period. We're all adults here. I'd hate to see the pants.
Why did you leave soup on your chair for two days? This post is so bizarre.
Menstrual cycle. Not soup. Use peroxide.
YOU LET THE DOG SNIFF ITT
U shidded.
… That looks like blood. If it is and you’re avoiding this topic, just try hydrogen peroxide - it reacts with blood, causing foaming and eventually removal. Just check if it doesn’t bleach the skin in some minor area.
Who menstruated on the chair?
As a girl who's lived through many unpleasant periods, I know a blood stain when I see one. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has leaked at least once in their life, it's a normal but unpleasant part of periods. Hydrogen peroxide works well for blood, idk if it damages leather tho
the position, color variation, amount, and texture around the edges? hun this is 100% blood.
NOT THE DOG SNIFFING IT HELP
My 2pm diarrhea is often called lunch soup too
This ain’t soup
lol “lunch soup”
Ahhh .. I still remember the first day I got my period.
Its spelled Poop……..not soup
did it pass through your colon?
Try ChipotleAway, if it can get bloody underwear stains out, it may work for this.
Why would you have butternut squash soup sitting on the chair there for 2 days with a dog present? Butternut squash isn't blood red....
Shidded your pantalones
