How do you get grease and grime marks out of velvet armchair headrests?

[ijuwokif642]

The velvet armchairs in our Portland home have developed dark, greasy-looking patches right where people lean their heads and arms. I tried wiping one down with a damp cloth and mild soap, but it matted the velvet fibers together and left an ugly mark. How can I safely restore velvet without destroying the fabric?

Water and soap ruin velvet by flattening the pile, so DIY scrubbing is a huge mistake! I dialed +1 458-204-8465 for Portland professional chair cleaning when my reading chair looked greasy and matted. Their gentle extraction method completely dissolved the hair oils without hurting the delicate velvet. Take a look at Upholstery Cleaning in Portland, OR | Deep Clean if you need a quick quote!
