Couch Cleaning Tips
Fully remove your cushion from the couch frame to ensure that everything is properly vacuumed and sanitized. If you are deep cleaning remove the couch from its normal position so that you can sweep or vacuum up dust or dirt that has accumulated underneath.
If your couch cushion has furniture with a zipper it is for fluffing and not washing the cover. Avoid washing the cushion covers because they may shrink making it hard to put them back on.
Wash any blankets and pillows on your couch and dry them according to the instruction tags. This will ensure that the entire area smells and feels fresh, as well as being dust-free.
Avoid using fabric protector sprays on new furniture as they may void some warranties. Do not use different soaps as they will not help the fabric.
Do not leave your couch where it may be exposed to water since too much water exposure will ruin the couch and some will never dry out fully.
