Do the backs from the back. Lean your elbo on the wood top to rest your back.
And got a hole glided stair tool.

I think for large jobs like that, you need a larger tool. Cover more ground, easier on your back. When I went to church, we didn't have cushioned seats. Maybe that's why I didn't spend enough time there.

As usual Marty nailed it. You'll save you back and a lot of time.

I'd treat it the same was I use a Zipper..... Long passes with the hand tool but use a Stair tool..... Or encap the sh!t out of them....
I started this job using my stair tool. It seemed like it was taking longer,because once I got the bulk of pews cleaned, I had to switch over to my upholstery tool to detail it. It was also making me tired faster, and it seemed like it took longer to clean it that way.

I use an upholstery tool on upholstery and a stair tool on stairs.
I'm not saying I can't see why someone would, I can but I just don't like the "feel".
I feel as if I lack the control necessary to do a thorough job. It feels to me anyway, as if I am compromising quality for speed and I'm not willing to do that.
We price it with the upholstery cleaning tool production time in mind, so no need to rush beyond normal speed. If the project is larger then we just send more trucks to help complete the task.

There's a reason why he's called Desk Jockey.

Stand on one end and make one long run. 3 passes for the back then the seats. I would pre spray much heavier than most probably and I might if they were really bad run my scrubber across it. It's not electric just a bathtub scrubber actually that I put a micro rag on.
