Thanks. Funny not many people know what monocote is, I even forgot the name until you posted it!

You can also try heating a towel in a bowl of water in the microwave and placing that on the upholstery to take out the wrinkles. I've seen that soon instead of a steam machine and it seemed to work quite well.
