i have some copper bottomed pots that i tried this with but it didn't really work. They weren't very well cared for and i guess theres cooked on grease etc. how can i clean them so that this technique will polish them up? I've tried baking soda, but its not quite enough. Anyone?

I bought plastic cd envelopes at Staples and ditched the clunky plastic dvd boxes. I got a few Stockholm storage boxes from the Container store and now I have them alphabetized and they take up waaaaay less space.

You didn't mention scrubbing pots and pans with it. Its just abrasive enough to get off cooked on messes without scratching. I use it in a paste to make my enameled Le Creuset pan gleam after cooking and baking with it. I love baking soda!

I probably shouldn't admit this online, but I work for C&B. The suggestion to get the Petrie professionally cleaned is absolutely the best option for you. Spot cleaning is just for that very thing, if you get a spot of something on it and need to, not as a solution to clean an entire piece. The fabric is a wool blend so professional cleaning is a must. With proper care it can last for years.

While C&B doesn't sell slipcovers for all the sofas we carry, we can and do make them for any sofa that originally came with one (we sell about 4 or 5 slipcovered sofas). You can even get a slipcover made for sofas that we no longer carry, as long as we can find your original sale so we can be sure to get the right frame style number for the vendor that makes the cover for you.

Good luck to you!
