Furniture Cleaning- The Downside to Skylights

Aug 06, 2003 2 Replies

The three big skylights we installed do a great job of brightening up the living and dining rooms with huge amounts of natural light.



Unfortunately, every little stain and smudge on our off-white furniture jumps right out you now. We have 2 small kids and a lot of these stains are really old. New furniture is not an option for years (those skylights costed).



We need a damn good fabric furniture cleaner.



Any ideas on products or cleaning techniques??



Thanks in advance,



Rob


There are lots of cleaners.

All should be tested on a spot that is hidden.

All will be a repeat - over and over - process. Essentially, you get the stuff in, dilute the dirt, absorb the mix with a towel or wet vac or whatever, dilute again, pick up again, repeat. Lots of elbow grease.

Slipcover? You can get good fabric at $5 a yard. 10 yards or less can cover a big sofa. Upholstering most chairs is easy.
