A couch is probably the most used piece of furniture you can have in your house. Because it is always being used it is the most likely to need to be cleaned often. You can help erase some of unpreventable grime that it will attain over a period of time by following these simple steps.

  • Step 1: Vacuum your couch. Today most vacuum cleaners come with furniture attachments. Attach the furniture brush to your hose and vacuum all of the couch including under the cushions and both sides of the cushions themselves. Don't forget the back, sides and arms of the couch. Preventative maintenance is always the best way to go. Therefore, if possible, you should vacuum your furniture daily and if unable to do so daily at least weekly.
  • Step 2: If your couch has pieces that are not cloth such as wood or other material, take a rag and clean those parts as well. If the couch as scrolled designs or such on the wood or other material a cotton swab well work well to clean inside the groves. You can use a wood cleanser if desired or a slightly damp cloth. However if your furniture is new applying a cleanser to its surface may nullify the warranty.
  • Step 3: After you have loosened all the dirt and foreign material on your couch you are now ready to move forward to shampooing it. Gather together the shampooer and the cleansers you will need for your shampooer. Make sure you follow the manufacturers instructions carefully on the assembly.
  • Step 4: If you have not cleaned the couch before it is wise to test a small area first. Underneath where the legs are works best as this is the least likely to show any inadvertent discoloring.
  • Step 5: Clean the entire couch. This will help prevent and water spots from forming.
  • Step 6: Allow the couch and cushions to dry completely before reassembling it.

After shampooing the couch you should have a clean, hopefully spot free and odor free couch. This will help your living room or den smell fresh and clean as well. With regular cleaning you can help prevent dust mites and other allergens from forming as well as prolonging the life of your couch.
