Upholstery is the work of providing furniture, particularly seats with webbing, springs, padding and leather or fabric covers. An automobile upholsterer can also refer to motor trimmers, coach trimmers or simply trimmers. The term "coach trimmer" is derived from the early days, during the time when manufacturers created automobile bodies and distributed coachbuilders in order to add interior trimmings and an automobile body.

How to Clean Upholstered Furniture

You will need materials like cleaning cloths, detergents, electric fans, dusting brush with handle, power brush vacuum, plastic bucket and plastic scrapers.

The first thing to do is to remove every loose cushion. Brush to loosen up the dirt using the brush accessory of a vacuum. Then, vacuum every surface of the furniture such as the back, skirt, arms, sides and the platform under the cushion. You can also vacuum both sides of your loose cushions.

The next step is to add about ¼ cup of liquid dish detergent or laundry detergent to 1 cup of warm water and mix it using an electric mixer. Whip the blend until the sud looks like whipped cream.

Test if it will fade by immersing a cloth in suds. Afterwards, rub it in a small place along the front, side or back of the furniture. Select a furniture section where you can drop the cloth and rub suds on it. Dust starts to appear in suds as they work. Use the scraper to scrape the suds away. Then, rinse the area with a damp cloth. Allow it to dry overnight using an electric fan on the furniture.

Heed some tips and warning. A great way to maintain upholstered furniture clean is by using the preventative process. Vacuum it every week so as to remove dirt and prevent serious soiling of the fabric. Change the rinsing water, cleaning cloths and suds as needed.

Could I Paint a Louis 16th Chair's Fabric?

I have a chair just like this one below...a louis 16th repro chair in a toile/Heavy Upholstery fabric but with a cheesier print on it. I wanted to re-upholster it but probably wouldnt do a good job and the chair isn't valuable enough to take to an upholsterer (its from JC Penny)...so just for fun I wonder if I painted it black with fabric paint would it work? It would have to be opaque to cover the design but would that cause cracking or peeling? Its ok if the texture comes through, and I know it would look kind of weird and/or edgy so dont worry about warning me about that, I just wonder how the paint or dye would hold up...also if you have experimented with success feel free to mention brands of paint etc. here's the link

paint would crack or peel, this sort of Chair Cover is easy to do, take out all those tacks, then use the present covers to make the pattern shape for the new ones. then you just fold the edges in and tack it back on. it is handy to have an extra person to help hold it in place while you tack it. the seat will need just a bit of pressure and pulling to make it neat, since its more padded than the back. it really wouldnt be a hard job.
