It's just the oils from body contact that make white age. <br /><br />I have no white furniture for that very reason. If the arm rests and back of head area have yellowed, that's body oils so just make some coverings that you can put on those areas. To prevent it from further aging.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13980186321981090019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-64283537554922647512011-11-04T23:46:21.469-04:002011-11-04T23:46:21.469-04:00Have you tried BillyMay's OxyClean?Have you tried BillyMay's OxyClean?HEATHERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324130429322268692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-70279032530754153672011-11-04T23:24:20.753-04:002011-11-04T23:24:20.753-04:00Hee hee - I'm pretty sure "bluing" b...Hee hee - I'm pretty sure "bluing" brightens whites.<br /><br />I was going to say try "Biz" - it may also have a bluing agent -not sure - but it seriously brightens whites.
