I was thinking to donate our first living room set, we bought it new eleven years ago, right after our wedding. Can you imagine eleven years of crazy parties with friend and family, oh sweet memories!
Having my daughter two years ago really took a toll on them, they survive baby food, little dirty hands, colds, crayons just to name a few. I didn't clean them before, but I was really ashamed to donate them in such condition. I used this recipe to deep clean my sofas. Use a sponge to apply and scrub and a towel to pad dry
4 cups of water
2 tbs baking soda
2 tbs dawn plus bleach
And I couldn't be happy with the results! they look close to "new"
Then I decided to make a new skirt for the love seat (it was really damaged) and made new pillows with drop cloth, I should have take a picture of the sofas before I cleaned them, sorry the before pic of them was the best I could find, but believe me they were really dirty!
After seeing the after ... we have decided to keep them! they really look like new!
Oh sweet memories... keep them coming!
