reminds me of a set I did a few weeks back for a young lady who is into the retro look. I spent an hour pre vacuuming her dogs hair off of the sofa and love seat and then tried to become Gary Heacock using a trigger sprayer and a variable speed polisher fitted with an 8 inch bonnet to clean it with. The polisher caused over spray so bad ( no wonder they brought the sofa outside at Mikeysfest) that I started agitating by hand and using dry microfiber towels to absorb the soil . They cleaned up satisfactorily to both the client and myself but it took a long time. And then the client tells me that she hired me because her previous cleaner had left the toilet seat up. She said she understood if he needed to go but he should have put the seat back down. I said well maybe he was dumping dirty water from his porty to which she replied well maybe I shouldn't be so mad at him after all.

LOL

My mom and dad used to have a blue and creme one just like it. Cool at the time but pretty funky now.

Looks like those home you walk into that are like a time capsule, nothing has changed in them even though decades have passed.

They are really comfy- but after years of farts, body oils and spills stinking them up they are not so pleasant to clean. I almost gagged cleaning one in the early 80's.

They had strong dye smell when cleaning them if I remember right. Either that or at least I'm hoping that it was dyes. ??? :redface:
