I was given a very soiled microsuede sofa cushion to experiment on. See attached pics for the before/after comparison. Wow! And that was just using plain (albeit 210-degree) water! If things really get rough, I’ll incorporate my usual organic, non-toxic products to really enhance the process. 
New tools are sure exciting! Especially when they enable me to extend the range of my services, and provide customers with a cleaner, more pleasant home environment.
