Pearsall Chair  

Mix some of the carpet...
Mix some of the carpet cleaning shampoo in a sprayer bottle and spray the seat 20 mins before you start allowing the solution to start work. Then make a stronger spray to use on the tougher stains as you work around the chair...spray as you need it.

I've been very impressed
by the performance of Folex spot remover. It often works miraculously well, but more importantly it's never done any additional damage (fading, residue, odor, etc.) to the items I've used it on.
Folex doesn't need to be rinsed, so it might be easier to use than a soapy cleanser.

funk remover
i'll pick up some folex and carpet cleaner. the folex sounds great but this thing is funky. there are stains that have stains for stains. i'll go over it with the folex each night this week for a start and then see if it needs carpet cleaner.
thanks for the advice

Folex ROCKS!
I just vacuumed the chair. Poured some Folex in a spray bottle and liberally sprayed down the worst parts of the chair and rubbed it clean with some rags. Then cleaned the rest of the chair. The rags are now gross but the chair looks promising. The stains appear to be gone. I will wait until it is fully dry but this is promising. Folex is amazing.
Now I need to repair and refinish the wood.
THANK YOU

Before and After pic and one more ?
Ok so this is after my first cleaning and second time just hitting a spot here and there. That is a wet spot not a stain. The before and after is amazing.
The only issue now is the material in place has little balls like on an old sweater. Should I just take those off with a razor or is there an easier way?
Next to start on the frame.
I am so glad this chair can stay original. I hate refinishing an original piece.
The folex is amazing.

don't use a razor on the pills
It's too easy to slice the fabric accidently.
Get one of these things. It has a gritty edge that grabs the pills. You might have to go over the surface four or five times but it should do a good job. It's great on sweaters. AND you can find them in the sewing notions section of a lot of supermarkets and I'm sure in fabric stores too.

Depends if you're talking raz...
Depends if you're talking razor blade or hair clipper. I've used clippers many a times with no issues. But would agree that Spanky's device is probably safer.

Yeah I was talking a...
Yeah I was talking a straight razor. I'll find the d fuzz it.
Thanks for the tip.
