The good news is that there you can use a reputable sofa cleaning company to take care of the issue for you.

However, it is still useful to know the best way to clean the sofa upholstery properly.

Know the Fabric

You’ll find a label on your sofa that tells you what kind of material it is made from and how you can clean it.

The first thing you should look at is whether the covers can be removed or not. If they can you may be able to wash them in your machine.

But, make sure you stick to the instructions provided.

If this isn’t an option then you’ll need to wash the sofa in-situ. This is easier than you think.

Strip the Sofa

The first step is to take the sofa apart, which means removing the cushions and other items that can be, not literally pulling the sofa apart.

You can lay them all out on the clean floor and then vacuum the sofa.

It is possible to put dry detergent on the sofa before vacuuming. If you don’t have dry detergent then baking soda is a great alternative.

You should check this in a small area first to ensure it won’t leave a mark.

If you have serious stains then it is worth trying the following:

For Leather

Mix ½ cup of olive oil with ¼ cup of vinegar. Then, put the contents into a spray bottle and lightly spray the entire couch. This reduces the likelihood of coloration issues.

You can leave the solution in place for up to 30 minutes before wiping the sofa over with a damp cloth.

It won’t just clean the grime off the couch, it will help to restore the shine and softness of the leather.

For Fabric

If you have a fabric sofa then a mixture of ¾ cup warm water, ¼ cup vinegar, and a little dish soap will do the same trick. Again, spray the sofa and leave it for up to 30 minutes.

A damp cloth can be used to remove the solution and the grime.

It is possible to scrub the sofa while the solution is in place. Use a stiff brush and go with the fabric to avoid causing abrasion damage.

You can also use a steam cleaner to remove embedded dirt in the sofa. This is an effective tool with or without detergent. However, you should avoid sitting on the sofa for 1-2 hours after you’ve steam cleaned.

Looking after your sofa will help to ensure it lasts longer and stays looking great.
