Bought great wing chair at an estate sale. Great condition except:

[Paper Roses]

The prior owner must have used Brylcream or some kind of hair oil. There are stains on the inside wings that are obviously from resting his head on the sides. I know it has been there for some time.

I tried an old can of Woolite upholstery cleaner. No luck. Maybe cleaners are better now, this can must be 10 years old at least.

I want to keep the chair. The rest of the chair is in mint condition and just the right color. Anyone have any luck with a particular brand or home made solution?

Thanks for any ideas.
