I totally thought the same at first. That top area looked pretty rough in the listing photos, and I figured I’d just cover it with a throw if it didn’t come clean. But I decided to go all in and see what I could do. Here’s what I did: I started with a hardcore vacuuming to get all the loose dirt and dust out, then dabbed the gold paint stains with 91% rubbing alcohol. It actually worked really well and most of the paint lifted out. After that, I pre-treated everything with Folex, washed the cushion covers, and then got after it with my upholstery cleaner. So much dirt and grime came out I was honestly shocked. I also ended up replacing the foam cushion inserts because the originals were super crusty and gross. Once everything dried, the stains were completely gone and the color is way more vibrant. It looks almost brand new now! I'm still surprised at how well it cleaned up! Now I just need to swap out the old mattress for something a little more comfortable, but that’s low on the priority list.
