I inherited a house that still has a number of my grandparents’ and great-grandparents’ furniture in it. There are a couple of wonderful and comfy easy chairs I’d love to use in my home, but the upholstery on both looks and smells dusty and moldy. The chairs have wood frames and arms, which are no problem, but what does one typically do to reupholster chairs in this condition? Would a thorough steam cleaning and just putting new fabric over the old suffice, or do I need to strip the chairs of everything, down to their frames, and start fresh with all new padding?
