I love how you don't just throw away something just because it is dirty or old. You clean it up or repair it, good for you!! It seems like we live in a "throw away" society and it's nice to see someone who takes care of their things. You are such a good steward, which is what the Lord wants us to be. We have a little something in common . . . my husband has played guitar on our worship team for over 20 years. I think Dan plays on worship team, too, right? Enjoy your channel so much! Blessings Hilary!

Yes, drums 💛

Hillary I can not believe you've touched on this topic with the ottoman. My daughter just purchased the same one. She showed me the color options and she loved the lighter one like you have, I told her as much as I loved it it will get filthy so she went with a charcoal gray. She clearly wasn't as happy when it was delivered yesterday . If had only watched your video sooner I would have probably told her stick with her original choice. I feel kinda responsible for encouraging her to go with a darker color. Moms sure don't know everything. What an informative useful video.

[@AlliesBest]

It’s amazing how a little effort can rejuvenate a piece!

[@alexispyle6757]

I LOVE how you use products that most people will have at home! I have been trying for months to get my ottoman to new again and this video was a huge help! Thanks so much!!

[@lauriehester4682]

Great tips Hilary! One more I use frequently is a product called Totally Awesome. You can buy it at Dollar General for $1. My daughter recently purchased a used vehicle. We cleaned all of the upholstery, and it looks brand new!

[@D121346639m]

very useful!

[@autumnmcclain5839]

Great info...now to try it on my inherited car upholstery. Thanks.

[@beahemple611]

Just the help I needed Thank you from London x

[@celestewilkins2886]

Oui Oui!

[@neweverymorningmercy3491]

Good job, brought back from the brink! I've got the Grandma's Spot Remover too, it works great.

[@shesacamper1497]

Jam hands. 😁 Thanks for the tips Hilary.

[@michellesavage2427]

Wow, that was fantastic help, I hope it works for me if I try it properly, lol.

[@susanvelez6534]

Ooo Hillary it came out brand new! I'm going to go check out her blog. 🙋🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻

[@glammedbymonasia]

This video was veryyyyy helpful!

[@CountryLissa]

Good tips! I'll have to share this video with my mom. She has a fabric ottoman in her living room. I laughed at "jam hands" because that's a line from Gilmore Girls!

[@Elizabeth45840]

Looks Awesome!

[@patriciaconiglio6717]

Great video. Your ottoman came out so clean. Great tips and you have the cutest little helper. Great job Lara.

[@kerieubank7400]

What an amazing difference! My mom has a white chair with some stains. She has tried a bunch of stuff to get them off, but I'm going to try this method!

[@aydinasivertsen8139]

Hillary, those are really great tips! Can you please point me which videos of yours has a tip how to clean stubborn staines on clothes? I remember you miraculously cleaned some Luke’s shirt. I believe it was one of the vlogs. Thank you in advance ❤️

[@barbarapeterson8030]

LOVE THE HACKS. SHARING TO MY FB PAGE.

[@pkeele]

Luke Danes - Jam Hands! Great tips today. Your furniture still looks great.

[@TheEllingtonsVlog]

Love this!! Thank you!

[@believe8042]

looks great!

[@Drocka69]

They sell spray that you can use on fabric that helps prevent stains.

[@pew9277]

Love the jam hands. Thanks for sharing. I have some cushions that need cleaning. Lara is so cute helping clean. Take care.

[@marlenek3412]

Thank you Hilary, just what I need for the Spring cleaning. 💚

[@teresa4737]

Do you have recommendations on how to kill mold in upholstered furniture?

[@susanvelez6534]

I ordered 2 of the pillow cases. Navy , gray and off white are my colors. I think they will look beautiful with the light pink velvet pillows I use in the summer xoxo.... Mom is in rehab and everyone adores her. They call her sunshine because she is always so happy. She does not look 96, ( just turned 96 Feb. 15th) she has not one wrinkle on her forehead. The charge nurse sat me down yesterday and she told me your mom adores you she was telling me her story yesterday. She told her she will never forget my daddy (husband of 56 years) and how she had me at 38 and when I opened my eyes and they were light blue she cried because her father had the same color eyes and he passed away when she was 6. I wish I could tell you her story you would just love it. When she comes home she will no longer be alone when I'm working, we will have a company I know real well do care giving. I will have less stress. Then my 17 year old girl comes home about 3 weeks ago and says, mom I'm graduating this June ( she is only a Jr. Class of 2021) I'll be graduating first in my class. I cried myself to sleep that night I was not ready for that news. So off to college a year early. Oh Hillary 😳

[@carolynshealy5536]

You always inspire me! Thanks you for your videos, I have learned so much watching you.

[@lorainemacdonald517]

Smart lady. I wondered where you would get the fabric for buttons. Isn't it fun to accomplish a refurbishment like this?

[@OldWorldHome]

Yes, very! 💛

[@jenniferm.1807]

Using shout wipes is such a great idea, thanks!!

[@aliciaryan3192]

Thank you Hillary for these great tips. Greetings from South Africa

[@leahsilverstein]

Beautiful top or dress you’re wearing, Hilary! Thanks for the tips 😍

[@honestlykayla8249]

Great tips! Jam Hands 😂

[@donna8212]

Thanks for these tips Hilary!!! 👍🏻💜

[@jenniferb.7250]

Wow! The ottoman looks great! I had never heard of Grandma’s Spot remover. I will have to check that one out. I have used a product called Wine Away that works great on a lot of different stains.

[@jeanieyelton1564]

Wow I’m impressed. Thanks for sharing. Where did you find the fabric shaver? I must have missed that. I have a recliner that I need to work on. You are always so helpful. Thank you 💗💕

[@OldWorldHome]

I believe I got it off amazon 💛

[@jeanieyelton1564]

Thank you so much. I looked but couldn’t find it. Now it is showing up. I thought it should be there 💗💕

[@carolmiller6713]

Wow! Great job!

[@carolschultz3588]

It looks great.

[@cindyanderson8509]

Great job and thanks!

[@horrisajones8933]

Awesome tips 👍

[@juliacockroft8745]

Thanks, this is very helpful. 🌸

[@donnarakitzis2719]

Genius fix to the tufted buttons

[@mehrit1648]

Great tips .

[@donnarakitzis2719]

Good tips! Looks great. I have a green machine upholstery cleaner.

[@mildredbc5425]

Great tip! Tyfs👍💕

[@margaretchisham1121]

Hilary how do you attach the buttons? Without having to take the piece apart?

[@OldWorldHome]

I used a needle and thread to sew them down as tightly as I could and added some hot glue for reinforcement 💛

[@kimberleyboone2084]

Very helpful tips - thank you! ("jam hands" ha ha)

[@melissachochard4242]

Great info

[@saraithmolina224]

Would you use the same method to clean your rocking chair? I have a couch with identical fabric and I am always afraid to treat that fabric. Thank you! Love your channel! Always looking forward to your next video!

[@OldWorldHome]

Saraith Molina yes I would, and have! 💛

[@msmary126]

Lots of jam hands here 😂😂 I am working on sewing slipcovers for my furniture

[@SuperDuperBrit]

It got crayon out?!?!!? I just added that Grandma's spot treatment to my amazon cart. My 2 year old recently colored our nursery ottoman. I've just been covering it with a blanket.

[@Shetooktothewoods]

One of my favorite applicable quotes for the years with young children comes from Fran Lebowitz: “Freshly washed and relieved of all obvious confection, children remain... sticky.” It validated me during the years that we would bathe them, get them dressed, put them in the car, and take them out at our destination with sticky lint spots on their faces. ?!?! 🙄😂

[@OldWorldHome]

Angela Bourassa love that 🤗💛

[@ruthlloyd1163]

Great job... but really white furniture and little kids...🤦‍♀️
