I even got compliments on them on Thanksgiving!.

As I said before, I love rubbing alcohol.After you’re done rubbing, you can just take your scrub brush and brush up all of the tiny microfibers and your fabric will look good as new!

….just maybe not after 8 years of abuse.My chairs looked a little better after this, but still pretty dirty.I’m sure if I kept scrubbing for awhile, I’d eventually pull up all the mess, but I’m just not that patient..

So what did I do?I threw caution to the wind, pulled the covers off wherever I could, and tossed them in the washing machine.

I figured they’d probably be ruined, but I figured that if they stayed that dirty, I’d probably get frustrated and buy new chairs anyway, or sew some new covers, so I went for it..

The covers aren’t really meant to come off like regular couch slipcovers are, so they were a little tight, but I fought it out..Actually, it sounds a little insane at first.

The truth is though that I typically only do about 2-3 sets of 10-minute tasks in a day, and that’s all it takes.And I set time aside to plan what I’ll be doing during those times.

I use my phone’s notepad feature to keep track of any ideas for tasks that pop into my head throughout the day and I then I plan a few sets of maybe 5 of those tasks to do at different times during the day.The thing I’ve noticed though is that having any more than 2 or 3 different task ideas in my head at one time that I’m trying to remember can get kind of distracting.
