Key Questions Answered

You can clean your sofa without water by first removing cushions and dusting with a vacuum cleaner or brush, then sprinkling baking soda over the seat, backrests, and armrests to absorb odors and moisture. Let the baking soda sit for 20 to 30 minutes before thoroughly removing it with a vacuum cleaner.

Lightly dampen a clean, soft cloth and gently dab the stained area rather than scrubbing it. If needed, you can mix a very small amount of mild liquid soap in water, clean gently with the cloth without making it excessively wet, and then press the area with a dry cloth to dry it.

Every sofa fabric is different, and water, soap, or baking soda can have varying effects on different materials. Testing on a hidden area helps avoid damaging the color or texture of the fabric, especially on expensive or delicate sofas.
