How to Clean Fabric Sofas?

Overall, make sure that you will not bring new dirt and dust when cleaning. Protect the wood surface and painted part with a drop cloth to ease the cleaning process.

Test the Solvent

What solvent product do you use? Before using all of them to clean your sofa, test it first. Grab a white microfiber cloth. Then, dump it with the solvent. See it carefully. Is there any color change or other serious problem with your fabric sofa? If no one, the product is safe to use. After that, start to clean all surfaces.

Cleaning stains and heavily soiled areas are not too difficult. Dampen the dry cleaning solvent in a clean cloth. Then, blot the solvent on the soiled areas. This process will prevent streaking or discoloration. After you have done all the process, dry the sofa using a fan. Do not use a hairdryer or a heater.
