** I always use Dawn Ultra in these solutions, but if you don’t have any, use a good quality CONCENTRATED dish soap for this recipe. Click here to learn why I use Dawn over any other brand for homemade solutions.
Here is a little before and after on her chair. She had some stains from a pouch that spilled. You can see the stain is completely gone! There is still a little bit of dinginess to the fabric, so I actually did two rounds of this solution for extra cleaning. The stain went away after the first round though.

Another one of your posts I have used on my auto seats!! Worked like a charm, the fabric is a light gray and black. This mixture worked perfectly to get quite a few "set" in stains out! Thanks for doing the "leg" work and researching all you do before posting any tips for others! Is there an updated e-book with more of your chemist tips? I currently have the e-book on your site, and if there are more I'd love to get another??
