One of our neighbors in the apartment complex tossed out a perfectly good used couch -- it's in fine physical shape, fairly new, and looks alot nicer than my 7 year old Heilig Meyers monstrosity.<br> <br> We "adopted" it.<br> <br> There's just one problem -- it's filthy. Mostly it looks like ground-in surface dirt, but there are a few stains on it that could be food or drink or... something I care not to think about. No blood or wine or anything like that, at least. It's not horribly stained, just grungy. And it does not smell, like sweat or dog or anything else unpleasant.<br> <br> Mrs. Jammer has decided that we will rent a Rug Doctor and give the thing a good steam cleaning to de-filth and freshen it up a bit. Anyone recouperated a rather well-used couch with one of these before? Which of the 37 different flavors of <s>snake oil</s> cleaning fluid should we use? Any other tips? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.42938 Tue, 25 Jul 2006 11:24:54 -0800 rugdoctor couch cleaning upholstery onemanstrash ooge jammer
