I'm hoping someone can help with this problem.

We have a problem with water ingress at the rear of our motorhome and are currently sourcing replacement wall boards etc.

However, this has led to staining of the upholstery and it appears that some of the colour of the wall boards has run onto the cushions.

Has anyone had this problem or can anyone offer any sensible suggestions how to deal with these marks?

Have you tried an application with upholstery cleaner at all?
It's not the cheapest on the market but I found that 'Vanish' upholstery cleaner works effectively and leaves a refreshing aroma too.

When we got our"new to us" Motorhome I did all the cushions and bases
Applied upholstery shampoo with a soft brush and then immediately sucked out excess moisture and dirt of course with the upholstery tool on my Vax shampoo machine.
Left them to dry thoroughly next to the radiators in the house.
If you don't have a Vax, perhaps you could borrow one for someone?
Of course if yours are removable just take them, to the dry cleaners.

PS, we did look into hiring a Rug doctor, but apparently not recommended for velour, might be okay for yours if it's a different fabric.
