Pets bring joy but also leave fur and dander on sofas and chairs. Upholstered furniture traps odors, crumbs and hair, so “how to clean a couch” ranks among the most‑searched cleaning questions[10]. Here’s how to refresh your seating and keep it looking new.
Step‑by‑step cleaning
Check the tag: Furniture tags typically include a cleaning code: W (water‑based cleaner), S (solvent), WS (water or solvent) or X (vacuum only). Use products appropriate for the fabric.
Vacuum thoroughly: Use a vacuum with an upholstery tool to remove loose dirt and hair. Go over cushions, crevices and seams. Flip removable cushions and vacuum the underside.
Use pet‑hair tools: A lint roller, rubber glove or dampened rubber squeegee drags hair off fabric. For stubborn hair, lightly mist the area with water to help it cling.
Spot‑clean stains: Mix a tablespoon of gentle dish soap with two cups of warm water. Dip a microfiber cloth, wring it out and blot stains. Avoid over‑wetting; moisture can leave marks.
Deodorize: Sprinkle baking soda over the couch and let it sit for 20 minutes to absorb odors. Vacuum thoroughly.
Deep‑clean: For water‑safe fabrics, use a portable upholstery cleaner or steam cleaner. Work in small sections, following the machine instructions. For dry‑clean‑only fabrics, use a solvent‑based upholstery cleaner or hire a professional.
Dry completely: Point fans at the couch or open windows. Allow cushions to dry fully before use to prevent mold and mildew.
Leather or faux‑leather couches
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
Wipe spills immediately with a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. For grease stains, sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch, let sit overnight and vacuum[11].
Condition the leather every 6–12 months with a leather conditioner to prevent cracking.
Pet‑friendly tips
Use washable throws: Drape blankets over seats where pets lie. Wash them weekly.
Regular grooming: Brush and bathe pets frequently to reduce shedding.
Training: Teach pets to stay off furniture or to lie in designated spots.
