| You have asked the right person!! I have all microfiber furniture in my house and had the same issue with Bailey marking. First, wipe the furniture down with soap and water, lightly scrub the area. Make sure there is no soap residue on the furniture. Next, mix 1 cup of vinegar with 1/2 gallon of water. Soak the area to be cleaned and scrub. Then use a dry clean towel to absorb any remaining water. The smell should be gone after this process and he shouldn't want to go back to that area to re-mark. If the smell remains I always resort back to Febreeze. If you are needing assistance with your carpets too pleae let me know as I have a new formula I just learned about that works miracles on anything including red candle wax out of your carpets!! Good luck, hope this helps.

| Here ya go Deb. There is this carpet cleaning stuff called FOLOEX. It's in a white plain spray bottle with Purple Letters. I know you can get it at WalMart and my local supermarket carries it also. All you have to do is spray and watch it dissapear. No scrubbing necessary, works on dirt, oil, candle wax, pet odors you name it. Now, it doesn't always work JUST LIKE THAT but if you catch the stain soon enough it will. I have white carpet wall to wall in my home and 2 yorkies so you can imagine I am always cleaning up accidents. To get up the tougher stains I have invested in a SPOTBOT, and although pricy $129.99, it is the best darn thing I have botten. I just spray Folex on the stains, let sit for about an hour and then go over them with the spot bot using the oxy cleaner it comes with and POOF spots are gone. We have lived in our house for 5-years with 5-kids and 2-yorkies and I only have 2 set in stains that will not come up and they got there from a child and involved blood (we have a rug over that stain). My child is ok, just broke their head open on a coffee table. If you end up trying it let me know how it works for ya. Good luck.

I've used 1 bottle peroxide mixed w/ 1 cup of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of dawn liquid dish soap and one tablespoon of baking soda. It works wonders! Gets rid of stain and odor (well, you might smell the vingear for a few hours)
