    Might be easier and less expensive to just buy new fabric and recover it. Or take the fabric off and wash it with Rite dye pack. But if it was just me I would buy new fabric and recover it.

    equal parts WARM WATER and OXYCLEAN. Works on red wine as well as grass stains. See their website. I couldn't believe the results on spilled red wine on dining chairs as well as beige carpet!


    However, I agree with the reupholstering idea.

    Yesterday I saw a product for the first time called Lingerie Brightener in the dye section of one of my favourite stores. If you unscrew the seats and carefully pull up the staples with OLD slot screwdriver or an actual staple lifter, take the fabric off and soak them in something like that in a dish tub. Oxyclean would be my next suggestion!

    Is it microfiber? You might try a rubbing alcohol solution with water.....otherwise, Reupholstry it. It's easy! Just put your seat on fabric, add several inches to turn under and cut fabric. Then with a staple gun start in the middle of each side and pull fabric taunt and staple....then continue working your way out on each side until you get to all four corners. Pleat the excess with your fingers and pull tight then staple! Trim excess and Voila! you have a new seat!!!!

      it really is very easy. If you dont have a staple gun, they are fairly inexpensive!
