You mean upholstery, right?

I don't think there is any cure for granny grime. Because it's not just the fabric that's funky, its the foam or whatever else inside. If you try to reupholster, the foam inside is probably shot anyway - the only hope is to get all new foam AND fabric, which is quite the ordeal, or just leave it behind at the store (an even harder ordeal!).

In minor cases though, I would try vaccuming the upholstery with a very powerful vacuum to suck all the dust out, then squitrting it with something akin to Febreze, except not Febreze, because Febreze smells like ass.
