Seems Bravo has 1-800-STEEMER on speed dial.
While the final installment of the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” Season 13 reunion aired earlier this month, fans are finally getting a glimpse at the messy aftermath of the taping — and production might want to reconsider using white couches again.
Two of the show’s production designers, Matthew B. Kornegay and James Pearse Connelly, shared an Instagram Reel Friday revealing the rental sofas were covered in makeup and spray tan stains after filming, writing, “What really happens with 8 (can’t leave out the Iconic @kathyhilton ) Housewives on 2 rental couches …. Thanks @stanleysteemerofficial.”
In the beginning of the clip, two white couches sit on the stylish set, but the video — set to Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dancefloor” — then pans to the same sofas covered in self-tanner stains.
“Thank goodness for Stanley Steemer” the Reel reads, showing a bright yellow van from the carpet cleaning company sitting outside as the couches were restored their original pristine shade.
“What a great ad for Stanley steamer [sic]…tough on fake tanner, gentle on couches…” one Instagram user commented on the post.
“This is why our Nonas had plastic on the furniture,” another wrote.
One fan had a suggestion, writing, “Why not get a cover then just wash it? Be a lot cheaper.”
However, both production designers weighed in, with Connelly writing, “SMART IDEA but we’re up against seat covers not being the most popular aesthetically in BH.”
“That’s for the RGOBH (real grandmas of Beverly Hills) cast,” Cornegay quipped.
Spray tans aside, there was plenty of other drama during the Season 13 reunion taping, with Sutton Stracke, 52, suffering a scary medical incident that sent her to the emergency room.
“I did have a medical issue that was serious,” the reality star told Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast earlier this month, adding that she “was suffering from exhaustion” as well as “dehydration.”
Kathy Hilton, 65, also made a surprise appearance at the reunion to get deep with her sister, Kyle Richards, 55 — and even if she didn’t return for Season 13, it seems like she left her mark behind.
