Sofas and upholstery see a lot of stains over time, but most common ones can be treated effectively with the right method.
Act quickly
Blot fresh spills immediately rather than letting them set, always blotting rather than rubbing.
Match the treatment to the stain
A mix of dish soap and warm water handles most everyday stains, while grease needs a degreasing approach.
Test first
Always test any treatment on a hidden area of the fabric before applying it to the visible stain.
For older or set-in stains
Professional upholstery cleaning handles what home treatment can’t fully lift. See our living room cleaning guide for more.
