I've steam cleaned my carpets. they looked great
for a few days, then the stains slowly returned.
I found that on the upholstery, if you use
bleach in a spray bottle (found this out by
spilling a bottle of bleach on the bench), the
fabric returns to it's like new brightness. I
imagine it's because of the amount of polyester
(or fibers other than cotton) that it doesn't
bleach out to white. I've only done this on the
rear bench.
