Suggestions for cleaning wheelchair upholstery?

Needing to know of any techniques or chemicals to help clean a chair made with polyurethane foam padding encased in porus vinyl like material. It is black colored, so I hesitate to use bleach. Thus far, I've used a car wash with pre-treating the spots on the chair scrubbing with dial bar soap using Spray N Wash as a lubricant. It cleaned well, but odor still was present, although lessened. I need some ideas of what works for you; chemicals that will not create allergies to the wheelchair user (lives in chair 24/7) and does not ruin fabric. Thank you for your help !

build a bomb Mcguiver style and 'splode the door
I started having hearing issues and some headaches when I'd ride over 70 mph along with a strong wind. I started to wear ear plugs under these conditions and my problem went away. I don't wear a helmet, but during my first year of riding I did wear one and I would get headaches and couldn't wait to get that helmet off. It probably didn't fit right. If your state allows you a choice to wear or not wear a helmet, try riding without and see if that does the trick. If you wear one you might check the fit. Another culprit may be your glasses. Try a pair of goggles. If you're getting wind blowing between your eye and glasses, that could be the source of your headaches. Goggles will fit tight to your face and block the wind. Are you relaxed while riding or are you tense and stressed out? Relax while riding. Stress can cause headaches. Try each of these by themselves and see which, if any, solve your problem. Then you'll know exactly what the cause is. Hope you find out the source and can enjoy riding more.
wait calmly no point of trying too hard and try banging the door or screaming a little or if there is a window open and if there's any people than wave to them and shout to them whats wrong.
get a skype. call a friend. tell them to call firefighters or someone like that. or use facebook
