Cleaning dining room chairs that have grease, sweat or acid from hands ?

Hi all,

 

I hired a Britex Carpet cleaner to try and clean off my dining room chairs that have what looks like sweat marks/ finger marks from the acid on our hands and/or grease marks. They appear mainly around where we pull the chairs out with our hands and where the backs of our legs come into contact with the fabric. On some chairs it is where the whole body touches through clothes so it could also be just plain sweat. 

 

I used the Britex cleaner using the Britiex upholstery low foaming solution with no success. (Note I also did the back of my lounge using the same solution from where the dog scratches himself and that removed the grime).

 

Does anyone know what I can do to remove these marks? Should I use a stronger Britex cleaning product like the urine remover (which only comes in a spray, not in a concentrate?).

 

Please see pictures which may help!

 

The last picture is after cleaning whilst it is drying, the first 2 were before cleaning.
