huffing Asks:
think i sent this as a fanmail by mistake - soz! helping a relative who loathes housework and having some trouble - any tips for restoring a grubby cream leather sofa to it's former glory (esp parts where the grain has worn down???) also a heavily stained cream thick-pile carpet? really want them to see the joys of unfucking. thank you!
unfuckyourhabitat Said:
For the sofa: saddle soap to clean, and leather restoring cream to bring it back to life a little. Both are pretty widely available.
For the carpet, rent a steam cleaner. As the carpet is drying, place clean rags over the heavily stained areas and put a little pressure on them (some kind of weight). The stain will likely wick its way back up the carpet fiber as it dries. Repeat the process. It may take a few times.
And honestly, cream-colored carpet should be banned. Who thought that was a good idea, ever?

If for some reason saddle soap isn’t an option, regular bar soap - the kind you’d wash your own body in - works too. Just make sure you rinse the residue off with a clean cloth.
