How to get rid of stains from upholstered furniture?

Stains can be a hard thing to remove, but not impossible. Here are some ways you can remove stains from upholstered furniture.

  1. Use a vacuum cleaner to suck up as much of the liquid as possible and then use a towel to blot the stain into the fabric until it is dry.
  2. Mix one tablespoon of white vinegar with two cups of water and apply it generously over the stained area with a sponge or microfibre cloth. Allow this mixture to sit for at least 10 minutes before blotting it up with a damp cloth.
  3. Mix one tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda (commonly known as baking soda) with one tablespoon of dishwashing liquid and apply this mixture to the stained area until all of the liquid mixture has been absorbed by the fabric. Allow this mixture to sit for at least 10.
  4. Wipe the cleaned area with a clean damp microfibre cloth, vacuum and leave to dry.
