Upholstery Shampoo

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup liquid dish soap

Directions

1. 1

   Combine the ingredients in a bowl.

2. 2

   Using a wire whisk or a hand-held electric mixer, whip the solution until dry suds start to form.

3. 3

   With a soft cloth or brush, slowly massage the dry suds into an inconspicuous spot on the upholstery, and let it dry.

4. 4

   If you see no change in color or texture, keep cleaning.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   Make sure the fabric is completely dry before you let anyone take a seat, otherwise it'll get dirty all over again.

7. 7

   To speed up drying time, open some windows, or use a fan to"blow-dry" the fabric.
