When Jake and I got married we bought a microfiber couch for screaming deal.

I remember sitting in the furniture department at a local store and raving to Jake how groovy microfiber would hold up with kids.

Ummm yeah.... obviously I was clueless nigh microfiber at the time.

Don't get me incorrect, the couch is in great shape, just microfiber (at to the lowest degree light tan microfiber) shows stains and water marks like nobodies business.

Case in point:

(And please don't guess! Final week we had the stomach influenza and sippy cups and popsicles attacked the couch.)

Yeah that's nasty.

So I found a great how-to on Pinterest and idea I'd requite information technology a effort.

What yous'll need

Make sure you get a WHITE sponge and WHITE bristle brush and so that there is no adventitious color transfer onto the couch when you are scrubbing.

(I used a light brown sponge because that's what we had on manus and it matched to color of our sofa; so y'all could go that route equally well. )

Cascade the rubbing alcohol in the spray canteen and SATURATE the stained surface area.

I know this seems counterintuitive, but rubbing alcohol evaporates much faster than water and so it won't leave a water mark.

Take your sponge and start scrubbing the area.

Don't be afraid to utilize all your muscles and scrub hard. :)

You'll start to see the dirt coming off onto your sponge.

Ewww!

If your sponge become's actually muddy before yous are finished, switch it out for a new one to avoid rubbing quondam dirt onto clean areas.

Let the areas your sprayed dry. They will look darker than the rest of your couch and will feel kind of hard to the touch, but don't worry about it.

That'southward what the bristle brush is for.

Once the couch is COMPLETELY dry, accept your bristle brush and with swirling motions, refluff the areas yous cleaned.

Seriously, I was getting prepare to try and convince Jake to let the states get a new couch, just it looks NEW.

God anoint rubbing booze and sponges.

I promise the results are so awesome you won't want to allow a sippy cup inside 3 feet of your couch. :)

UPDATE: Our soon to be 3 year quondam took PEN to this burrow and the aforementioned method every bit above got information technology out!

FAQS:

Will doing this upshot the warranty on my couch?

I take no idea. Every warranty is different. The best way to answer is telephone call the store y'all purchased from or the provider of the warranty.

Does the alcohol odour make my couch smell like alcohol?

No. The room your burrow is in will odour similar alcohol or about 15 or 20 minutes but just ventilate the room equally much as possible while you are cleaning and after.

How often can I do this to my burrow?

I do this nearly once a calendar month and at that place hasn't been whatsoever impairment to our cushions.

It didn't get all the stains out. Why?

I'm non a stain master so this is just my idea. Stains like grease or food are much harder to leave. My son wiped his hands on the arm after eating french fires and I had to scrub 2 separate times to go it out and fifty-fifty now there is a very faint mark.

If you don't get it all out the first time, wait a day or 2 and clean it again. And don't forget to actually scrub and Replace your sponge when information technology gets dirty. Otherwise yous will just be rubbing erstwhile dirt onto new places.

Does this piece of work on other colors (however microfiber)?

Yep. I wish I notwithstanding had pictures that people sent me of their before's and afters, merely I've seen it washed on dark microfiber and red microfiber etc.

Does this piece of work on other fabrics or materials?

I haven't tried. If you are curious try information technology on an inconspicuous spot.

At that place is a ring were I sprayed the alcohol. Why?

More than probable you lot didn't scrub/dry out that spot adequately. Remember even though the alcohol evaporates very speedily it is still a liquid. You desire to saturate your area but not deluge it.

If you are left with a ring, spray the area like you would a stain and scrub it out.

How long does information technology take to scrub and dry out?

This actually depends on how dingy your couch is. It took me nigh half an hour full to make clean ours only now the monthly spot checks take ten minutes max.

How soon tin I sit on the couch later on I clean it?

One time it dries and you utilize your brush to fluff it you can it on information technology.

I hope this helps! Over again if yous have a question I didn't answer please exit a comment with your EMAIL address and so that I can become dorsum to y'all. :)
