Your couch has probably endured years of visitors, spills, stains, and even a tear or two. Whether it's bouclé, leather, or velvet, a tired and worn-out sofa can dampen a home's overall mood and aesthetic, which is why it is essential to know how to clean couch fabric in order to bring it back to life.
The fundamentals of knowing how to clean a sofa is all about understanding its fabric, how tough or delicate it might be, and how you should clean it. "Couches take on a lot. They’re a playground for children, nap central for adults and pets, and can even be a makeshift dining table," says cleaning expert Ken Doty from The Maids. "This all leads to the fact that couches will need to be cleaned more than most other pieces of furniture."
