We conduct demonstrations on the third Saturday morning of most months for those located near us. For those too far to visit, we've put together a few step by step instructions and demonstration pictures below to show you the entire process from start to finish. We have been extremely pleased with the results of Howard's natural upholstery cleaner. We've used it on our car upholstery to remove stains left from food spills, spot cleaned carpeting to remove the signs of a pet, and this page shows results after cleaning a stained chair. We assume the stains were a combination of dirt and food. We bought the chair in a stained condition.

If you have any questions, please contact us at CustServ@MinksEmporium.com.



Before Cleaning
Before Closeup
This is a picture of an extremely stained chair. I guess there are people who will buy anything. We bought this chair in this stained condition and then stored it in our warehouse for a while. As a result, the stains had been there a while and we did not have much hope for removing them. It really looked quite dirty and, yes, I was having some buyer's remorse.
Supplies Assemble the supplies.

1. Soft Upholstery Brush or Nonshedding Sponge

2. Clean Cloth for Blotting

3. Howard's Natural Upholstery Cleaner

Apply Cleaner Apply Cleaner Slightly shake bottle and then liberally spray area to be cleaned. Try a little cleaner on an inconspicuous area first to test colorfastness. We let the cleaner penetrate for 5 minutes because the stains were old.
Gently Brush Using an upholstery brush, we gently brushed the area with the fabric weave.
Blot Blot area with a dry towel to remove excess cleaner. Lightly sponge with cool water and blot dry thoroughly.
Cleaned Chair We hope you get the same great results. We have been pleased with the results on other stained upholstery as well as carpeting. And the extra bonus is that it was accomplished with a blend of natural vegetable-derived soaps. Kid Safe, Earth Friendly, and Pet Safe.
We thought we'd be stuck recovering these chairs or using them for firewood. They sold the day we unloaded them at the shop! Yeah, Howard's Upholstery Cleaner to the rescue.
