20 Best Couch Cleaner For Microfiber (2023 Updated)

easy to use. my upholstery stains were very old,I had given up on finding a product that would work. This did after ? 3 yrs of looking and 3 applications it was wonderful. Just wish I could tell you what the stain was from,it was the size of my small hand and having a darker blue color on a mint green color.

grandkids knew nothing. great product,thanks.

So I was going fishing this past Saturday. Drove to my friends place to pick him up at 5am with my dog in tow. I pull up to the house and leave the dog inside my car thinking I’m just going to be in and out.

Wasn’t gone for more than TEN MINUTES! I come back and my dog has unleashed a fire storm in my back seat. It was like the first part of the movie independence day but instead of destroying my car with a giant laser it was destroyed by giant watery poop nuggets.

I pick up/wipe up the abomination and spray some all purpose cleaner on the seat to try to get it up. It did not do the job. As i go in to get more towels i notice that my dog has ALSO pooped in my front passenger seat!! So again i try to clean That up with the all purpose cleaner.

It’s not working all too well but its fishing time we need to hit the road. So we stop by Walmart grab some air fresheners and head out. Long story short we drive about 2 hours smelling like coconut and poop.

After I get back I go to autozone and tell them i have dog poop to get out of my car. After they laugh at me they proceed to tell me they have exactly what i need. Skeptical at how sure they are at the poop removal abilities of this blue can I proceed and purchase it.

Boy I tell you what, I have never used a poop remover that worked so well and fast in my life! The smell is GONE and the stain is gone. Didn’t even take more than 10 minutes for all 3 seats. Highly recommended.

This foaming cleaner is amazing. The brush on top of the lid is priceless. It seems to remove any kind of carpet stain, whether it’s in your vehicle or at home. The can itself lasts really long. I bought my 2nd can after many years if use.

Wife goes to the rec center pool several days a week, sometimes with other family members. They wear their wet suits home. Car cloth seats had nasty water stains. Other products haven’t done well in the past.

This one did. It did take 4 or 5 sprays and brushing on the worst stains, but 95% of the stains are gone and others are much more subdued. Didn’t care for the brush cap that comes with it, too stiff.

I used a nylon brush I had that has softer bristles. Dampness from the numerous sprays dried in several hours Would purchase again.

I was absolutely amazed. Our dog bit into a dark blue pin and there was a heavy stain in our carpet. Granted, our carpet was dark green, but it still looked terrible. I did not bother to attempt to clean the stain, because I was afraid it was going to smear.

Months went by. I thought, what the heck, and applied Turtle Interior with oxy. It slowly but surely started to remove the stain. little by little with a soft rag. Had to apply some pretty heavy ‘digging’ style cleaning.

but with absolute amazement-it lifted the blue ink without affecting the green carpet. I used to use tough stuff, but this is absolutely my new carpet cleaner. True, this was not a white carpet or light colored carpet, but kinda feel it I kept at it.

the ink would come completely out if I kept working at it. You cannot tell the ink was ever there.

Im not sure how effective this stuff may be. I tried it once. The musty water odor in a 12″ sqaure area on the carpeted cargo floor of my Jeep SUV remained stinky after two cleanings. This stuff just added a nausea noxious perfume on top of it.

Way too much perfume scent. I eventually got the stinky musty water smell plus this awful perfume odor out of the carpet simply using baking soda. That worked! I dumped an entire box on the area, rubbed it in a bit, let that sit for eight hours, vacummed it up.

Done. I say, do a very small spot test with the Turtle Wax brand fabric cleaner first. That perfume noxious. Alcohol wipes are sometimes better. I wont write this product off though. Ive only used it once.

Just warning that the scent is overwhelming misery. Baking soda is amazing!.

I recently purchased a vehicle. I discovered a stain on one of the seatbelts. It looked to be dried paint. I bought this stain remover to clean it off. To be brief, it worked like a charm. It did take about 15 to 20 minutes of non-stop scrubbing, but the paint is no longer there.

I was also able to remove a slight blemish on one of the rear seats. The provided scrubber was very effective. The scent is pleasant, but perhaps a bit on the strong side. I would definitely recommend it.

My daughter’s RAV4 was disgusting, inside and out, but particulary inside. All of the seats were stained. I used Citrus Fabric Clean, diluted about 7:1, sprayed thoroughly, and agitated with a drill brush.

After extracting with a small Bissel spot removing machine and warm water, the seats look brand new! I wish I had taken before and after photos, but 1) I was too embarassed to show the before image, and 2) I wasn’t sure the product would be so effective.

It worked very well, and smells nice, too.

It’s not really meant for bad fabric surface stains or chunky stuff that’s stuck, but it gets everything underneath instead that makes a smell and makes the fabric immediately more pleasant. It prefers a strong brushing, so bring a stiff brush.

Then use a car wash vac to get it out. Dries surprisingly quickly even when nearly soaked when used this way. Smells fairly neutral, lets the car be naturally fresh. Window down for some fresh air becomes a lot more enjoyable, fights smells your heat picks up and swirls around.

Mixed feelings about the package. The brush is the best part. Works great to get the dirt worked out of the fabric Definately a ” must have” tool. The cleaner works pretty good, but isnt quite good enough for old deep set stains.

Might try their lightning fast cleaner for that. The spray bottle I got is total junk. Threaded cap is defective. Will not seal tight. Constantly leaking when tipped and when you spray. Contacted the company and have not yet heard a response a week later.

I am though confident after the virus scare subsides they will eventually get back to me and fix the problem. I have a whole case of Chemical guys cleaners and am overall happy with them and their performance.

If it were not for the leaking spray bottle , I would be content with this particular product. As it is thus far, the price is a bit high for the performance of a bad spray bottle.

Both my Goldendoodle and I have allergies to strong scents. I live in a two bedroom apartment with a husband, the Goldendoodle and my Chocolate Lab. Needless to say, the carpet looks nasty fast and I find I need to run the carpet cleaner about every 90 days.

The formula that came with my new carpet cleaner worked well, but it left such a strong lingering smell that I worried about my dogs. This has a nice, clean, light scent that disappears quickly It cleaned just as well as the formula that came with the machine, it just smelled so much nicer.

I will order another bottle.

Puracy Natural Carpet & Upholstery Shampoo is THE BEST!!! I have 2 dogs and a heavy-duty Bissell carpet steam cleaner which I use frequently. Most carpet cleaning solutions – including the ones made by Bissell – contain chemicals I’d rather not use on my carpets or in my home.

I was so happy to find this Puracy product on Well. ca!!! I bought 2 bottles of it and absolutely LOVE IT!!! Please bring it back! I would rather order it from Well. ca in Canada than another site in the USA.

Our 8 year old Poochon had tummy noise problems in the night and unfortunately defecated on our white bedroom carpeting this morning. After cleaning the brown the best I could by hand… I sprayed it with Natures miracle advanced solution and then blotted it up.

Then I used a warm solution of 1 ounce of this product +4 ounces of water. Let it soak in for a while and massaged the soiled area. Anyway like magic it ALL disappeared an I mean ALL disappeared. I’m going to order more for future accidents plus for our carpet shampooer (regular cleaning) Just now I reread the directions and realized the directions say 1 ounce per 100 ounces of water!!!!!!! Oh well it worked for me… and the carpeting looks perfect! (Rinsed as directed till the suds were gone!.

Let me tell you about this stain remover, it is GOLD. I use this in combination with a carpet cleaner, and alone. This stuff literally makes stains disappear before your eyes if they’re minor. I have a long haired cat that has hairballs frequently and this spot remover cleans up the stain he creates within seconds of spraying it on the area that I obviously cleaned beforehand.

I also have a house full of boys and they track mud in regularly creating a dirt walking path in the main entrance of my home. I used this to pretreat before carpet cleaning and it completely lifted any proof of a stampede of men through the front door.

Let’s not forget the toddler dropping any and all food things on my area rug in my kitchen. I tried to get a darker colored rug, and I did, it’s blue but it has white speckles on it and sure enough, hellllooo stains everywhere.

I sprayed a couple of sprays on all his little area rug war wounds and they disappeared. This is a great product and I would definitely recommend.

I used this cleaning product for the first time today. It has an easy spray or stream option at the top of the bottle which allows you to spray the desired area without waste. I was actually surprised that it worked so well when I sprayed the carpet.

It will be nice to have a cleaning product I can use for spot cleaning, since not all the time does an entire room to be done. The bottle says “instantly removes stains”. I tested the solution by spraying my carpet and immediately rubbing with a cleaning rag.

I was SO surprised that a red stain, my gold carpet (from strawberries over one month ago) actually did remove 50-75% of the stain!! WOW! I was expecting NOTHING to be removed due to how old the stain was.

This is really great stuff!! I am so glad I have this product which I will love using on my new carpet in the basement, which I do want to keep stain free (unlike my 40 year old upstairs gold carpet that will be removed in 1-2 years).

The bottle is attractive, easy to hold, easy to use, and has an “off” option for when it is not being used. It also has a pleasant smell and does not leave a “chemical odor” after the fact.

FIRST STEP, just before shampooing, that will leave your pet-soiled and high-traffic carpets and rugs sparkling and looking like new. In addition to using my carpet cleaner, I never hesitate, and prefer to pre-treat the more difficult-to-clean spots prior to running my machine.

And #HOOVER Oxy Tough Stain Remover is a perfect solution for an oxygenated product that will not only pre-treat effectively, but will, literally, loosen, lift and pull out the dirt, grime and even grease that end up being ground in from excessive, day-to-day traffic.

Nothing could be simpler and no more getting down on your hands and knees trying to scrub out the stains by hand. Simply mist the spots that you think might give you the most trouble and allow the solution to do its job for about 5-6 minutes, (NOTE you can actually watch this product while it does its thing) then follow-up with your regular machine cleaning.

That’s it! I’d never begin a spot-cleaning, or a machine-cleaning without it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you don’t either. What a time and labor saver, indeed~.

I had purchased the Spray On Car Wash along with the regular (Pink) Car wash. I was so satisfied with the Product I went back to my local parts store and purchased the 3 in 1 Ceramic Spray on. the Synthetic Clay (so easy to use rather than a wad of clay) another bottle of Ceramic Spray on.

and many more Griot’s Products (now will be going back for the Interior Spray CLeaner for seats/carpets etc) I am stocked with 2 bottles of everything. This is how satisfied I am with the Griot’s Products.

My car is now so smooth as glass and the shine is awesome that I’ve even been complimented by so many people! I puchased so many of the Griot’s Products the past 2 weeks just incase my local Parts store may run out!.

Look Autizone is my favorite place rite next to harbor freight tools. Aint nothing u cant fine to fix your autos, sound system even paint jobs. Staff or friendly and helpful my favorite stores the one in El Monte Rialto Bloomington and banning.

Big thumbs up for not looking side ways at me just cuss im a female who knows her car stuff.

I use it to get stains off my carpet. I love it it works! Our house is a little over 20 years old and still has a brand new look! Amazing product!

We use this to remove stains and drips on our carpet and furniture. We have used this product for over 20 years and love the excellent results.

I like it it didn’t get it completely. Clean but but better than anything else I have used. Haven’t tried the other yet

Our couch was quite dirty from our dog laying on it all of the time. We do put a cover on, but there’s an area we can’t cover. Took a couple of tries..but looks great now!

Just follow directions, spray it on, let it set for 15 minutes, wipe off with damp cloth. THAT EASY.

On the plus side, it has a strong motor and suction after owning just over a year. On the other hand, the spray feature stopped working after about a week, and we’ve used a spray bottle since then. Annoying, but we kept it because of the suction.

Now the hose leaks at the handle, so we get to enjoy puppy urine even more while cleaning it up. Emptying the tank is also annoying because you have to remember to hold it upright until you’re ready to empty it, otherwise it leaks dirty water from the bottom.

This item has been a mixture of usefulness and annoyance: Good quality motor and pump – bad design and poor-quality plastic fittings. Leaking the very thing you’re trying to clean up is the last straw, so time to let this one go.

I have owned this unit for 5 years after previously owning a Bissel Little Green Machine (the Bissel nosel stopped spraying after a couple years, and unit would constantly leak). About a year ago I noticed it was getting more difficult to place the handle back in the holder (the hose did not stretch as far as it used to).

I didn’t think much of it, but then. Few months ago I noticed that the hose tore near the sprayer. I loved using this machine, therefore I wanted to try fixing it without having to buy another one. I used hockey tape and that seemed to do the trick.

Then about a month ago, I noticed that the hose has also torn right at the base (I am unable to fix this with tape unfortunately). I wrote Hoover about this, however, I am far out of warranty, so there isn’t really much they can do.

Now I’m trying to decide if I should buy another one or try something new. I noticed another customer also had the same problem with the hose tearing, so obviously my issue is not isolated.

I was never a believer in microfiber cleaners. I decided to give this a go as my microfiber towels over the years seemed to lose their absorbency and ‘fluff,’ despite using appropriate laundry detergents.

This product brought all of my MF towels back to life. They all work as intended now.

very good product – and important to keep the towels in top shape. Regular laundry detergent or dish soap will impair the effectiveness of micro fiber.

works great, i wash all my microfiber towels with this cleaner, they all come out soft and clean and ready for the next time.

The Hoover CleanSlate Pet Spot Remover should really be in every house with kids and/or pets! We have both and normally use a full sized carpet cleaner on any spots or stains, which would require a full tank of water and solution.

The great thing about the CleanSlate is that it has measurements for both small and large areas so you only fill it to what you need based on the area you’re cleaning. This means less waste of water and cleaning solution which saves money in the long run! The tank is simple to fill and empty and even when using it for larger areas, it’s fairly lightweight.

It worked great on stains from spilled drinks, mud tracked inside as well as the interior in my car. My favorite thing about this spot cleaner are the three brush attachments and the hose cleaner tool! The tight spot tool works wonderfully along baseboards and in vehicle interior, which I could never reach with my regular cleaner.

When using the CleanSlate all of the dirty water gets sucked through the hose into the tank which is pretty satisfying to see but definitely leaves the clear hose looking pretty gross. The hose cleaner rinse does exactly what it says it does, cleans all of that yuck out of the hose so it doesn’t make your cleaner stink.

I didn’t know I needed that option until I cleaned the hose the first time and now I think it should really be standard lol Overall, I would absolutely recommend the Hoover CleanSlate Pet Spot Remover.

It’s portable, lightweight and works great at removing stubborn stains with minimal effort. If you’ve got kids or pets, you should definitely have this spot cleaner too, you won’t regret it!.

I cannot say enough about the CleanSlate Pet machine by Hoover. My family includes the sweetest little Shih Tzu puppy, named Doobie. He’s 9 years old but, is very much the energetic, snuggle bug he’s always been, except he’s experienced a bit of intermittent tummy trouble these past couple years.

Most recently, our front entry rug bore the brunt of an episode. Luckily, our Hoover CleanSlate Pet was delivered later that day. It was incredibly easy to assemble and intuitive in design. I was amazed at how lightweight it is, even when full.

There was an included bottle of cleaning fluid and a packet of scent booster, which smells fresh and clean. I love that there are a few choices for brush heads, one for upholstery, one for carpets, and a smaller “crevice” attachment were all included.

Solids removed, and odors neutralized, I began cleaning by pushing the solution button on the handle attachment, while scrubbing, to work it in well. I moved on to other areas to give the solution a minute to work is magic.

Then, I began extraction. Unlike other similar machines that I’ve used in the past, the extraction took very little pressure to suck up a bunch of nasty water. We keep a clean house but, the color of the waste water was shocking but, completely gratifying.

I made a couple applications on necessary areas but in general, it only took one pass or so to clean the rest of the rug. Not only did this leave the rug noticeably brighter and clean, we could not get over how soft the rug felt after it dried and how there was a pretty sheen to it that we forgot it even had.

It smelled amazingly fresh for days. The clean up for this machine is equally as impressive. The hose cleaning attachment housed in the lid is genius. It redirects the cleaning fluid back through the hose taking all of the dirt and fibers accumulated with it, right into the waste reservoir.

This is hands down, the easiest clean up of any machine of this type that I’ve owned. After successfully cleaning the rug, I was inspired to tackle the bane of our household’s existence, the ugly green couch.

This couch has had a foot out the door for years. We want to replace it but, have serious reno plans in mind that we’d like to finish first. So, this poor, ugly couch has sat for way too long, unable to be cleaned by our carpet cleaning guys, because they don’t clean these types.

I took the challenge and while I’ll admit it took several tank refills and waste empties, this once nasty couch lost its cringe factor. It’s actually soft again, smells delightful, and it’s clean! I honestly did not think it could be done but, CleanSlate Pet proved otherwise.

Pets or no pets, the CleanSlate is a must have for all households who crave a truly clean home.

The Hoover CleanSlate Pet Spot Cleaner is the best and fastest cleaner I’ve ever used! I currently own another brand’s pet spot cleaner, as well as a carpet cleaner/vacuum and neither of these compare to Hoover’s CleanSlate Pet Spot Cleaner! The CleanSlate is very easy to set up: simply remove the solution chamber, fill with water to the desired level (indicators for small and large areas), add the appropriate amount of cleaning solution (an easy measuring cup is provided and stores conveniently on top of the solution bottle), close the cap, insert the chamber back into the machine and you are ready to go! I filled to the large area level, as I had to do with my other spot cleaner when needing to clean multiple spots.

However, I quickly discovered that the Hoover CleanSlate uses a small fraction of the solution to clean similar areas! Also, I was able to completly remove three stains that had been in the carpet for at least a month in about 5 minutes! My other spot remover would take at least that long to clean one spot and would then need to be moved to cover a different spot, so I was amazed at the efficiency of the CleanSlate! The amount of solution that was used was minimal, even though I felt like I was being very liberal in spraying the stained areas.

The carpet was still damp, but that was to be expected. I am completely sold on the Hoover CleanSlate Pet Spot Cleaner and will be getting rid of the inferior cleaners that I previously owned!.

Took me awhile to review this cause I really wanted to test it out on the upholstery of my 20 year old car. My car has stains probably belonging to previous owners. Some stains look like rust, while others are dark greyish stains or random small spots of orange or black.

I followed directions and was very liberal in spraying. I also scrubbed to allow product to penetrate. Also part of my car is exposed to sunlight. Most stains disappeared after 2 sprays and 30 min of waiting.

The one that would not disappear was the rust colored one which I think is rust cause it’s nearby the open metal bearing. One aspect I like of this product is that it has no chemical smell at all. Big plus.

Overall it’s a decent product. It’s no miracle worker and not a quick solution but does a decent job without chemical aftersmell.

It has a smell to it that isn’t quite. agreeable, we’ll say ‘agreeable’. with my pregnancy nose. I have yet to use it (so I can’t actually tell you if it works well or not) and had gotten it because I’m gonna be a little embarrassed about the water spot on the seat when my husband drives me to the hospital.

We’ll have to air out the car or something. It did come packaged well and all that. Hope it works. I don’t know if I would reccomend it or not but all the same, it may be worth a shot so.

This is a great natural stain remover option. I am constantly having small stains appear on my carpet from having a little one in the house. This is the perfect product to quickly and naturally get those stains out quick.

Super quick and simple to use as well. My number one is that it is natural. My daughter is constantly on the go, playing on the floor, jumping around, so knowing my cleaning products are natural is a must.

I would definitely recommend this product.

I love this stuff. I have used other brands in the past and this one takes the cake. I feel that this one really takes the dirt out. Plus I haven’t had the caps on it break like I have on other ones.

Plus it has a nice smell as well. Doesn’t smell like chemicals like some other ones do. Lastly, I don’t feel like the bristles are too stiff where it is going to tear the stitching out of my seat. That is a plus.

This is a great powerful cleaner. I love it, it has brought my headliner and carpet back to life. I truly didn’t know what to expect but I am beyond impressed and happy. A tree fell on my car and it busted my back window out and I wasn’t able to drive it for a while and the moisture caused mold and mildew to grow in my car.

I thought my car was a total loss because I tried a few other products and nothing helped not even the smell which was very heartbreaking because this was a older car that was custom fixed up. I scrubbed everything twice and everything thing is like new.

The directions are very clear and easy to follow. This required a lot of arm muscle and scrubbing but it was worth it. I used a rubber jar opener to keep grip of the can because after scrubbing for so long the can got slippery.

I like how the brush comes off and how this cleaner eliminates odors. I also used this in my other car the seat had a red stain on it from the pervious owner and it came up with ease and this also dries up quickly.

Overall this is a great cleaner I am so glad I got this and wish I used it sooner. This is my go to cleaner from not on and I highly recommend this.

I am so thankful for the Armor All FreshFX Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner. This little can saved the interior of my van, as well as my kids booster seat. Most people with kids can imagine just how dirty a vehicle’s interior can get when going on vacation.

A 10 hour car trip, plus a kid who gets car sick easily, plus food, trash and all the things that go along with that. my van was trashed and smelly. This amazing stuff was able to get out stains from ground in food, mud and my kid getting sick.

As if that wasn’t good enough, it took the smell out of the van as well! It worked so great that I decided to try it on the booster seat that my child was sitting in. I used it on the seat plus the seat belts and it not only took out the sick stains and smell, but it took out previous stains from dirty shoes and candy that I had tried to clean out numerous times.

Now everything is clean and smells great and I have the Armor All FreshFX Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner to thank. I promptly went out and got a can to keep in each car.

I have yet to try a Turtle Wax product that has not performed as advertised. I liked the ease of using the spray and scrub brush. The scent was pleasant and did not linger too long. Once the product dried, I did not smell any lingering odors on my seats.

The cleaner removed spots on my cloth seats and cloth covered center console that were set in for years. I tried another cheaper product that dried quickly and the stains came back in a few hours. I have used this for about two weeks now and the stains have not returned and the seats remain very clean looking and odor free.

The bottle says that there is a stain guard addition that helps to prevent new stains from setting in. Great product, I should have used this years ago.

The Turtle Wax Upholstery cleaner …did its job as much as I allowed it to do. I spilt Maple syrup on the passengers seat 10 days ago. I didn’t clean it, I just blotted/wiped it. Last week I used the Upholstery cleaner and what an improvement it was.

I bet if I cleaned it sooner like that afternoon it would have been spotless. I only know it’s there, others don’t notice it which I feel that shows this product is a good cleaner.

BUY THIS – don’t hesitate – works great! Truck hit 4 years – had a few spots on the seat. The worst was about a 6-8″ stain leftover from leaky lobster through a grocery bag. I’d done a basic cleanup when it happened (about 1 year ago) but never used upholstery cleaner as I should have.

Didn’t think it would work. I was wrong – this stuff pulled it right up within about 15 min. I used the foam + scrubbed, then I put some more foam and let it sit for a minute, then scrubbed again. Had a couple other minor spots that came right up.

VERY IMPRESSED. Would easily buy again and will-do when this bottle runs out (won’t for awhile). $8 well spent. I’d considered buying seat covers ($400) to avoid stains moving forward, but knowing this stuff cleans so well, don’t think I need to.

I wish I’d taken a before/after photo to show how well this worked.

I purchased Bissell Advanced Pro Deep Clean after reading rave reviews. I’m seriously impressed by it. The carpet in our house is very old and gross. Whoever lived here before us clearly didn’t care about it.

I’ve used different cleaners in it before, but wow, what a true difference this one made you could really SEE the difference the carpet looked clean. It smelled fresh , but it’s not an over powering smell.

I have severe asthma it is wasn’t enough to irritate me, it just smelled fresh and clean, not like chemicals. The water in my machine was so black it was sickening, and somehow satisfying at the same time.

This is one of THE best carpet stain removers I’ve ever used. Spilled Cabernet on new grey carpet and got the entire stain out. it was literally a full glass of red wine. Our mastiff (okay this is graphic so sorry but.

) was sick and had the runs all over the same grey carpet. I was terrified at the amount that was on the carpet, set in smell, not being able to get all of the discoloration out, etc. The stains and surface area of the stains were BAD.

I honestly thought we might not be able to save the carpet- it was that bad. This spray worked magic, seriously. It got the dark stains out AND took care of the smell as well. Granted, I did do bout three rounds of spraying & scrubbing mainly because I was worried about odor but the stain was lifted after the first round.

Truly an amazing product- has saved my carpet from literal hell.

I have all white living room furniture which probably wasn’t the smartest idea with an old black cat and an old slobbery Bassett hound. The dog developed a problem with his eye and in the middle of the night he decided he was going to rub his eye against the chair over and over.

This left layers and layers of bloody grimy streaks. My white chair looked disgusting. To make matters worse it was a couple of days before thanksgiving when I was going to have a houseful of visitors.

Luckily I had this spray on hand so I hoped for the best. To my absolute amazement, this spray restored my white chair to looking brand new. It didn’t even take much effort or scrubbing. I will always make sure I have this spray on hand.

It was a lifesaver.

I was impressed when I tested on a wool carpet corner. Followed the simple instructions and voila, the stain came out. I waited several days to gather up my courage to try now on our WHITE denim sofa upholstery.

After 8 yrs of loving use, even though with a lot of care, inevitably the arm rests have gotten nasty from sweat, water, and who knows whatever stain the hands and wrists can bring. Reupholstering or professional cleaning was out of question because it was way too expensive for my taste.

Again sprayed on the spots according to the instructions. To my horror, the wet stain created this brown and beige chromatography spread on the surface like a science experiment along a large area of the arm rest.

I thought now I really ruined it, but I faithfully followed through with instruction and dabbed away. This is where I went beyond the instructions- I poured on dry baking soda all over the soaked armrest, especially along the brown rings where the wet stain spread, and started scrubbing like a mad scientist for good.

I saw the brown rings disappear, and after a couple of hours I vacuumed the dried baking soda cake/dust off the armrest, and voila, it’s ready again to seat a guest! It has been 2 wks since this cleaning experiment, and I shudder to think back i almost threw out our favorite sofa!.
