I actually had them dry-cleaned for about $40 (CDN). I had to take them
into the 'plant' (other side of town) but worked great.

I did this to a chesterfield once and several times with mattresses.

Doing this is a ton of work.   It is easier, to remove the seats from
but leave then intact. Then, hose them down, scrub them with soap , hose
them off, and let dry for a few days, in the hot sun.
