How to Clean a Microfiber Couch

Thank you 551 East for the recipe and graphics(:


When we first moved into our home back in 2006, we decorated the living with 3 microfiber pieces.  Oh they were divine.  Over the years, with the help of all the grandchildren, this is how it looks(:  We were so afraid of touching/cleaning it because we thought we'd make it worse.  And paying for it to be cleaned was never an option simply because we had no idea cleaners for this existed.  Anyhow... I am ready to get down tomorrow and clean my furniture.  Yes, there is hope!!!  Before you start, please read to the bottom where I have added notes.  Thank you and good luck.
 How to Clean Your Microfiber Couch


Make sure you get a WHITE sponge and WHITE bristle brush so that there is no accidental color transfer onto the couch when you are scrubbing.

(I used a light brown sponge because that's what we had on hand and it matched to color of our sofa; so you could go that route as well. )

Pour the rubbing alcohol in the spray bottle and SATURATE the stained area.

I know this seems counterintuitive, but rubbing alcohol evaporates much faster than water so it won't leave a water mark.  


Take your sponge and start scrubbing the area.

Don't be afraid to use all your muscles and scrub hard. :)

You'll start to see the dirt coming off onto your sponge.


If your sponge get's really dirty before you are finished, switch it out for a new one to avoid rubbing old dirt onto clean areas.

Let the areas your sprayed dry. They will look darker than the rest of your couch and will feel kind of hard to the touch, but don't worry about it.

That's what the bristle brush is for.

Once the couch is COMPLETELY dry, take your bristle brush and with swirling motions, refluff the areas you cleaned.






Dispel Odors From Your Microfiber Couch
A day before you begin cleaning your microfiber couch, be sure to mix:

  • 3 c baking soda
  • 5 drops of essential oils (I love Lemon and Lime)
Mix well and let sit overnight.  You can pour your mixture in a container with lid (poke small holes on lid).  After you get done with cleaning your furniture, let dry well then sprinkle over your furniture.  Let the mix sit for an hour before vacuuming the powder off.

Your furniture will not only be clean but pleasant to smell, unless you like the smell of rubbing alcohol.



Let me know how it goes.

But, we love it, except one part- the mess they create sometimes specially on expensive things like sofas or armchair.

At the end we decided to call professional help and their experts provided us with the best service. This was the Commercial Bar Stools Cleaning Canberra, which has the best technicians. We booked an appointment and they rescued our armchair. Thanks Squeaky Sofa Cleaning.

I am too lazy to work and investing my energy in cleaning the stuff is not me! And, so I usually hire cleaning companies to do the tasks for me. Lately I have been very disappointed with the kind of services my old cleaning company provided.

I hired them for cleaning my upholstery and they did the job pretty well! They disinfected and sanitized my upholstery like new and also provided me with additional tips of taking care of upholstery.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thanks Spotless Upholstery Cleaning.
