How To Clean A Microfiber Couch

Learning how to clean a microfiber couch can be done effortlessly and effectively with the right steps taken.  Before you clean a microfiber couch look for a tag regarding cleaning instructions.  If the couch is tagged, make sure that you follow the instructions on the tag.  If your couch does not have a tag, clean your upholstery as follows:

1. Remove excess dirt and debris.  If there is any dirt or dry debris use a vacuum fitted with an attachment to remove the debris as soon as possible.
2. Blot, not rub, with a clean rag or paper towel any liquid spills as soon as possible.  Microfiber is designed to rebel liquids, however, just like any other fabrics if spills are left there for a long period of time it can become absorbed and difficult to remove at that point.
3. Use soap and water.  Microfiber can be cleaned with a mild soap and water.  Rinse and blot with a clean rag or paper towel.
4. Removing tough stains.  If you are still having difficulty removing a tough stain, consider purchasing a specialty formulated microfiber cleaner from a furniture store or from a company that cleans upholstery professionally. With professionally formulated cleaner, it is best to spot clean the couch as directed on the cleaner.
5. Call a professional.  If you have tried spot cleaning with a professional cleaner and are still having difficulty with a stain, call a professional upholstery cleaning company.

In order to prevent stains, when you purchase a new couch consider treating your couch with Scotch Guard or MicroSeal.  These products acts as a repellant and offers to protection to any stains to your couch.  These products can prolong the brand-new look of a couch and it reduces the maintenance and replacement costs.
