Try some Tri sodium Phosphate to clean with. Go to Home Depot and find it in the paint department. Will cut though all that very quickly. You can even use a sponge mop to apply it.
Good luck ...

[quote=mommaB]TSP (Tri sodium phosphate) is a great cleaner for something like this (ask me how I know :D ).
Opps I should have read all the posts before I posted my last tidbit of information.

If I can pull this off I will post pictures but it will take time. I've been scrubbing for nearly a month now. Hard on the old arms and shoulders. Thanks again

DSIL swears by some stuff sold at Dollar General. It's called Awesome. Will clean carpet & just about anything else. Too bad you couldn't host a cleaning party so we could all come & get it licked in a day.

I used a window air conditioner many years and it did not hurt my fabric, however we had a propane gas heater on the wall that was not vented and it turned my walls yellow and my fabric had yellow lines where the fabric was folded. We have central (electric) heat and air now and I have had to wash and iron all my stash.
