I've got a P.S. on the last post! My little fingers became dirty while stretching the new cover over the old one (a little dirty she was!) I was able to use a drafting eraser to rid the cover of the dirty smudges! Then using packing tape to remove the eraser shavings, never brush them off. It will re-transfer the smudge back to the fabric. This little tape trick is also used on surface dirt in the ateliers of Haute Couture
