My five year old hyperactive son did what he is not allowed to do, eat in the living room. We have a white/off white Ikea Tullsta or Solsta chair (the smaller one on light wood legs). He has smeared food on there and I have tried everything to get the stains out. Tuff Stuff foam, carpet cleaner, and a few other cleaners and nothing is working. The only other thing I haven't tried is the cleaning hose with my carper shampooer because I can't find it. Is there a chemical to bleach this fabric and get these stains out or what can I do? It looks hideous. Getting it reupholstered is not an option, as that is way too expensive.
Bleach or vinigar work wonders... Place vinigar with soap in a carpet shampooer.
A professional carpet cleaner would put together a cleaning solution, probably including a product with Oxy clean laundry detergent, 12 per cent hydrogen peroxide, warm water, brush the fabric, and then rinse and extract the stains and cleaning solution from the fabric. Attempting to clean this chair at home is an effort in futility. The hydrogen peroxide available to you is only 3 per cent. allow a pro to salvage this chair for you. When clean, have them scotchguard the fabric Good Luck.
