Cleaning Micro-Suede aka Micro-Fiber

So my son has repeatedly spilled stuff on his little recliner that he received for Christmas last year. I got fed up with it and finally decided to try and clean it. Water will leave a mark on it. However after a little research I found that rubbing alcohol will not. It evaporates to quickly. So here's what I did.

What you will need:
     1 piece of Micro-fiber furniture (LOL DUH)
     1 Bottle of rubbing alcohol. It would be easier if it were in a spray bottle. I didn't have one so I just used it               straight.
     1 Dry Clean Sponge
     Paper Towels
     1 Scrub brush that's clean and dry. I use the Scrubba Dubba from The FlyLady!


Now prepare you furniture piece by vacuuming all the crumbs, dust, lint, hair, ect. off of it.

Notice the big stains? Since you cannot use water on these things. You really can't use any kind of upholstery or carpet clean either. So I used alcohol. Yup! The good stuff too! AKA ROCKET FUEL!

Like I said before this would have been a much smoother event if I had a spray bottle. Since I didn't I poured it on a clean dry scrub sponge. On the soft side.

Yes all that grunge you see on my sponge is off that chair! Ewwww! So I repeatedly poured a little, then scrubbed a little. Till it no longer appeared that I was getting more grunge off. Now because he spilled WATER on it there is a permanent mark. Then after letting it dry some I used my Scrubba Dubba from The FlyLady to "fluff" it back up. I read that you should do it in a circular pattern but that look weird on this dark color. Perhaps on a lighter color you could. I gave mine a comb-over. It looks much better! However the pics do show ever shadow and it might look a little rough but in real life it looookkkks soooooo goooood!

Let me know what you think and post some pics of something you clean! Have fun and thanks. I hope it works for you!
