As often as you can, treat immediately. To determine the classification of your sofa, check the tags that may be hiding on or underneath the couch.
Find a clean spray bottle to store your solution and make application a cinch. To neutralize odors, also add a teaspoon of baking soda or white vinegar.
For S-labeled couches, fill your spray bottle with rubbing alcohol. Then, rub a soft towel or a sponge either should be white, so no color transfers while you work in a circular motion over those sections that are saturated with cleanser.

I think they had it for maybe six months or so. Well, after a year with my kiddos and DH , it looks really bad. I have no idea how to really clean it without having someone come in and do it. I haven't priced it, but I'm sure it would be more than we would want to spend. Anyone clean it themselves and what did you use?

Joined Mar 22, We have a solid caramel set in our family room and I'm not sure what we were thinking with 3 kids! Ours was scotchguarded when we bought it but might still work. Have you tried just a wet cloth - plain water? We've had some horrible looking spots that just come right out.
It looks bad and discolored when you wipe it down but then it just dries good as new. Good luck! Joined Jan 25, StephMK said:. Joined Mar 10, I've used dish soap and water on mine with no problem. All you need to do is rub the baking soda paste in a circular motion on the stain. I just use my finger to do it, but you could use a toothbrush or a rag if you would like.
Then use it to scrub the area and remove any of the baking soda that was left behind. With any luck, this is just from being damp. As it dries, the spot should fade and disappear. The area may feel a bit stiff compared to the rest of the couch.
To fix this, all you need to do is brush the area with circular motions to bring the softness back. It sounds odd, but It really does work! So give it a shot, what have you got to lose? Pin the image below to find the instructions for cleaning your couch later.

I tried this and it removed some of the stains, but not all of them sadly. Did you make a baking soda paste?
It has to be mostly baking soda to work- I first tried a little baking soda with more water and that did nothing — there has to be a lot of baking soda for the grit to remove the stain. I just tried it. Brand new dining room set chair with dye or ink…imma not sure, but it came out right away. Yes you have to make it pasty. Really works! Thank you!!!
Baking soda is like magic. I use it everywhere in the house. I am glad you were able to remove stains. This is amazing and I can not believe you did it naturally without using a cleaner with harsh chemicals.
I will definitely be sharing this amongst friends. Before cleaning your microfiber couch, read its care instruction tag. Microfiber manufacturers use codes to indicate how to clean the fabric. Rubbing alcohol may work on microfiber furniture marked "S," but always test it first on an inconspicuous spot. Never use bleach, acetone, carpet cleaner or upholstery cleaner on microfiber couches. If you are unsure about cleaning your couch yourself, schedule a consultation with a professional furniture-cleaning service.
