Heres how to remove greasy stains such as accumulated sweat on the arms of a sofa.
Simply rub the upholstery with a baby wet wipe and you will lift the greasy stain from the fabric. This is really effective at removing human grease from the arms of armchairs that slowly accumulate grease over the years. About three wet wipes is all you need per item of furniture.
Of course, Our Victorian Ancestors had an easier solution, small cloths called anitmaccasars were placed wherever grease was likely to accumulate on upholstery, such as the ends of sofa arms. These anti maccasars could be removed and laundered regularly, keeping the furniture looking perfect.
