Fabric Upholstery

• 1). Coat the greasy upholstery with baking soda. Allow the powdery substance to absorb the greasy residue for 15 minutes.
  
  
• 2). Vacuum the stained upholstery with a vacuum attachment. Extract all the greasy baking soda from the couch.
  
  
• 3). Apply 1/2 tablespoon of dry cleaning solvent to a white rag. Blot the lingering grease stain until the couch upholstery absorbs the solvent.
  
  
• 4). Examine the couch for remaining grease. If the upholstery still contains a greasy residue, prepare a detergent solution in a container. Combine 2 drops of dish detergent with 1 quart of warm water.
  
  
• 5). Moisten a sponge with the solution. Dab the couch upholstery with the sponge until the remaining greasy residue dissolves.
  
  
• 6). Dampen another rag with water. Blot the soapy upholstery to rinse out the detergent.
  
  
• 7). Combine 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of white vinegar in another container.
  
  
• 8). Moisten another rag in the vinegar solution. Blot the couch upholstery to ensure all the detergent is fully rinsed out. Vinegar removes detergent residue that water cannot.
  
  
• 9). Blot the vinegar-dampened upholstery with a towel. Remove all the moisture.
  
  

Leather Upholstery

• 1). Blot excess grease off the leather upholstery using white paper towels. Absorb as much grease as possible.
  
  
• 2). Squirt 1 tablespoon of mild facial cleanser into a bowl. Mix in 1 tablespoon of distilled water.
  
  
• 3). Dampen a white rag in the cleansing solution. Tamp the leather upholstery until the remaining grease spot is fully removed.
  
  
• 4). Moisten another rag with distilled water. Blot the previously grease-stained leather to rinse away the cleanser solution.
  
  
• 5). Blot the water off the leather using a towel.
