HOMEMADE UPHOLSTERY CLEANER
After months of preschoolers with markers, slime, play dough, wet nail polish, and of course, food on my dining room chairs, I couldn't stand them anymore. (The chairs, not the kids! lol) I really needed to try to get them clean, and prefer homemade remedies to store-bought chemicals. I found this recipe posted on http://do-it-yourself.tribe.net/thread/480e9776-2d06-4ecd-b0cf-bd4fbd56d307 by Meander. I immediately tried it and it worked miracles! The nail polish wasn't affected by it, but everything else from chocolate and spaghetti sauce to colored markers came out with very little work. In fact, my 5 year old did most of the scrubbing with a small manicure brush. Remember to only use the foam, not the liquid at the bottom of the bowl, and the chairs will dry out quickly.

Steps:
- Mix everything together, let it cool until it gels. Whisk or beat until it foams. (I used my Kitchenaid mixer.).
- Use the foam only with a rough cloth or a brush to scrub the upholstery, making sure not to soak the fabric.
- Re-beat the soap as necessary to get more scrubbing bubbles.
- As you work, use a clean damp cloth to wipe away the soiled suds.

Steps:
- Combine the ingredients in a bowl.
- Using a wire whisk or a hand-held electric mixer, whip the solution until dry suds start to form.
- With a soft cloth or brush, slowly massage the dry suds into an inconspicuous spot on the upholstery, and let it dry.
- If you see no change in color or texture, keep cleaning.
- When you've finished the whole piece of furniture, let it dry, then wipe it with a soft cloth dipped in warm water and wrung dry.
- Make sure the fabric is completely dry before you let anyone take a seat, otherwise it'll get dirty all over again.
- To speed up drying time, open some windows, or use a fan to"blow-dry" the fabric.

- Create a Cleaning Solution for W or W-S Fabric. Pour four cups of warm water into a bucket or large bowl. Add one-fourth cup dishwashing liquid. Use an electric hand mixer or whisk to create lots of soapy suds.
- Scrub With Suds. Dip a soft-bristled scrubbing brush in just the soap suds (not the water). Start at the top of a cushion or the couch back or arms, evenly spread the suds and scrub well.
- Rinse and Dry. Dampen a microfiber cleaning cloth lightly with plain water and wipe down the area once a section of the upholstery has been cleaned. Allow the fabric to air-dry completely.
- Prepare Cleaning Solution for S Tag Fabrics. Pour two cups of isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol in a spray bottle. For safety, always label the bottle. Warning.
- Clean the Upholstery. Spritz the fabric lightly starting at the top of a cushion or section. While the fabric is damp with the rubbing alcohol, use a soft-bristled brush to remove soil.
