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

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

Ummm yes.... apparently I was clueless about microfiber at the time.

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

Example in point:

(And please don't judge! Last calendar week nosotros had the stomach flu and sippy cups and popsicles attacked the couch.)

Yeah that's nasty.

Then I found a smashing how-to on Pinterest and thought I'd requite it a endeavor.

What you'll need

Make sure y'all go a WHITE sponge and WHITE bristle brush so that at that place is no accidental color transfer onto the couch when you are scrubbing.

(I used a light brown sponge because that's what we had on mitt and it matched to color of our sofa; and so you could get that road likewise. )

Pour the rubbing alcohol in the spray canteen and SATURATE the stained area.

I know this seems counterintuitive, only rubbing alcohol evaporates much faster than h2o so it won't leave a h2o marker.

Take your sponge and start scrubbing the area.

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

Yous'll outset to see the dirt coming off onto your sponge.

Ewww!

If your sponge become's actually dingy before yous are finished, switch information technology out for a new i to avoid rubbing erstwhile clay onto clean areas.

Let the areas your sprayed dry out. They will expect darker than the rest of your couch and will feel kind of hard to the touch on, merely don't worry about information technology.

That's what the bristle brush is for.

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

Seriously, I was getting ready to try and convince Jake to allow us get a new couch, merely it looks NEW.

God bless rubbing alcohol and sponges.

I hope the results are so awesome you won't want to let a sippy cup within three feet of your couch. :)

UPDATE: Our soon to exist 3 twelvemonth onetime took PEN to this couch and the same method as above got information technology out!

FAQS:

Volition doing this effect the warranty on my couch?

I have no thought. Every warranty is unlike. The all-time manner to answer is call the store you purchased from or the provider of the warranty.

Does the alcohol scent make my couch odor like alcohol?

No. The room your couch is in will smell like alcohol or well-nigh 15 or 20 minutes merely only ventilate the room as much as possible while you are cleaning and after.

How often can I do this to my couch?

I practice this almost once a month and in that location hasn't been any harm to our cushions.

Information technology didn't get all the stains out. Why?

I'm not a stain master then this is just my idea. Stains similar grease or nutrient are much harder to leave. My son wiped his easily on the arm subsequently eating french fires and I had to scrub 2 separate times to get it out and even now there is a very faint mark.

If y'all don't get information technology all out the first fourth dimension, look a twenty-four hours or ii and clean it again. And don't forget to really scrub and REPLACE your sponge when it gets dingy. Otherwise you will just be rubbing onetime dirt onto new places.

Does this work on other colors (even so microfiber)?

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

Does this work on other fabrics or materials?

I oasis't tried. If you are curious effort it on an inconspicuous spot.

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

More than than likely you didn't scrub/dry out that spot adequately. Remember even though the alcohol evaporates very rapidly it is still a liquid. You lot want to saturate your area only not deluge information technology.

If yous are left with a ring, spray the area like y'all would a stain and scrub it out.

How long does information technology take to scrub and dry?

This actually depends on how dingy your couch is. It took me virtually half an hr total to clean ours but now the monthly spot checks take 10 minutes max.

How soon can I sit on the couch after I clean it?

Once it dries and y'all use your castor to fluff it you tin it on it.

I hope this helps! Once more if you have a question I didn't answer please leave a annotate with your Email address so that I can get back to you. :)
