So, we were given a couch a few years ago by some friends when we lived in Florida. They bought new couches and gave us their old ones, which was great because at the time we didn't have any. They were in okay condition when we got them but after being in storage for over a year, they got pretty banged up. Stains that I have no idea where tehy came from and since we have taken them out a month ago, they now have juice, ketchup and other mysterious stains. I was telling my mom that I wanted to get them cleaned and she suggested that I do it myself. So, I decided to take on the task. This included taking off the covers, washing them & doing some stain removing. Then my mom let me borrow her bissell "little green machine" to wash the arms and stuff that I obviously couldn't put in the washing machine.
I have to say that I am very proud of myself. I was really surprised w/the results. I don't think that it looks like the same couch. I've been feeling very domestic lately and this was my latest project.
Okay, here are the after pictures. I tried to take pictures the same pictures as the before ones...

Good job Danielle!! Looks much better hey just out of curiosity what do they measure the couches?
hey danielle they look great i got slip cover couches because the g-kids peepeed on and spelt milk that soured the old ones. Now i have new ones that i can wash. so any time you would like to visit and bring that little one. i would love to have the old couches and the kids still living in so cal. so much for new couches!
I was considering getting a slip cover, but they were surprisingly expensive. But a week after I washed them, they are dirty again so I figured I would eventually have to buy a slip cover, then seem to be the best solution. It's difficult to keep anything looking nice with a 2 year old running around.
Sherri, Ryan is having his birthday on Sunday at 10:30 at Chuck E Cheese in T.O. If you guys would like to come!!!
