Maybe try a foam upholstry cleaner? If washed, any waterproofing/fireproofing/stainproofing could likely be restored with 3M Scotchgard?

So now they aren't dirty- they have "character". :B I was told by someone at Pianotek/Schaff (I forgot who/m) that washing them may affect the waterproofing/flamibility (??) in the fabric. They didn't advise washing them in any way. Just a damp cloth. (yeah- that'll do wonders, huh??) I'd try and get in contact with the actual company that made them. If they are nice padded ones they are rather new?? :) Stranges with 2 cents --On Wednesday, November 17, 2004 11:53 AM -0500 "Dempsey Jr., Paul E" <dempsey@marshall.edu> wrote: > > > Lists, > > > > I’ve got a couple of 9 foot quilted padded/canvas covers that > are in desperate need of cleaning.
