They might be some kind of brushed cotton or something?
Regardless, they do have the look of microsuede - when you can see the material.
This is Madison's chair;
This is Chloƫ's;
I think we're looking at a culmination of chocolate pudding, dirt, pancake syrup, play doh, dog drool, perhaps some ketchup, a lot of grease and I wouldn't be surprised if there was even a little pick-nose on there as well.
My Heebie Jeebies told me it was time to clean.
I got out my trusty alcohol - and some rubbing alcohol for the chairs - and got to it.
Now I have cleaned these chairs before using the cloth method (putting the alcohol right onto a clean, dry cloth and then rubbing it in to the stains).
I figured if that works, then pouring the alcohol directly on to the chair and scrubbing it with a nail brush would work even better.
Not so much.
In all honesty, the cloth method removes the stains much better than the nail brush.
I'm a scrubber by nature - I always feel things are cleaner if you've gotten right in there and scrubbed away at it.
I stand before you corrected.
There are still some deep-set stains that could benefit from a professional cleaning - but I think you'll agree the difference is amazing!
Heebs, Jeebs - take a break. We're pick-nose free for the time being.
Have a great one!

Hi Shelly, this is such useful information. I didn't know that you could use rubbing alcohol to clean upholstery. I'd like to try it on my sofa...should I try it on a hidden portion first to see if it will bleach or bleed the colour? Alex from Calgary :) Yes, that Alex.
ReplyDeleteThe first time I tried this I did do it on a hidden spot first and then let it dry completely to be sure that it wouldn't bleach anything out.
DeleteTry it in a corner under the cushions or something - and then let me know if the cleaning turned out as well as mine did! XO
So that was just with rubbing alcohol and a nail brush?
