How do I clean a very dirty easy chair?
+7
My moms chair arm rest and seat is really dirty wondering what to use? I took a dryer sheet got it wet and scrubbed one of the arm rest and it diffently looks alot better! Plus what for her to get for arm rest and seating covers that can be taken off to wash it!
Here's the one arm rest I did clean with a downy dryer sheet and got it wet and scrubbed! Sure I need to scrub some more, but couldn't tell with it wet how gd I was doing! This after it dry!
hand attachment from a carpet cleaner and use use just plain water
Try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser or Oxy Clean or Awesome Orange on a wet rag and scrub...let dry. Or try Spot Shot carpet cleaner as directed.
The 2 best products I have used are Spot Shot, and Tuff Stuff available at auto supply stores.
Maybe Walmart in the automotive aisle? Spray on, rub in gently with soft plastic round brush. Let sit a minute, then wipe gently with white (so color won't transfer) washcloths. You should see the dirt come off onto the washcloth. Maybe brush gently again. (The problem I have had with Spot Shot is it often stops spraying when the can is still half full.)
I've used woolight foaming carpet cleaner, to clean dirty furniture. No matter what you use, tho. Be sure to check somewhere inconspicuous ,to make sure it won't leave a mark on the fabric, first. And you could make some simple arm coverings out if towels. Lots of pretty colors, and patterns to choose from, and easy to take off and wash as needed
I was going to suggest hand towels for arm covers for your mom's chair. Just wash when dirty.
