There are no "off the shelf" cleaners that can remove body oils that have passed through the chairs fabric and are now residing in the padding just beneath the fabric. I found this out the hard way. I purchased a couch from our local Salvation Army that had geri-curl oils in it. I used a fabric cleaner for auto interiors and that just made matters worse. I live in Florida and contacted a company named Tru-Clean Carpet and Tile Care and they came over, explained wy off the shelf remedies don't work (not strong enough) and then cleaned my couch. They charged $95.00 but my couch looks brand new and no more staining. Hope this helps so you don't waste your money on products that won't work.<br><b>References : </b><br>www.forcleancarpets.com Tru-Clean Carpet & Tile Care You will need a professional upholstery cleaner to take care of this problem.
