Removal/cleaning of bitumen paint from sofa :-(

One of my cats (naturally the long haired one) decided to run through a pool of bitumen paint (the stuff for protecting concrete or metalwork) yesterday and, having converted one front and one rear paw to a tar brush proceeded to run into the sitting from and onto the sofa. Having endured the recriminations from SWReallyMBO what do I do now? The tin says to clean up with white spirit. Do I take my life in my hands and try to clean it off the sofa with white spirit or what?? Obviously I'll practice elsewhere first. Oh, and the sofa is a yellow/gold colour nicely set off by 6 or 8 paw prints on one arms.TIARichardPS SWMBO was so upset that she went into work today!!!!

But mindful of the probable effects of both contaminants - bitumen and white spirit I did lather up his feet with shampoo. They came up lovely and fluffy!

Thanks tho' for the liver warning. Interesting use for peanut butter.
