Last February we bought brand new furniture when we bought our new house. We have 3 children 5 and under and needless to say, they are not kind to our furniture. So, I was wondering how to go about cleaning a dark brown microfiber double recliner couch and recliner? I looked online and it said something about microfiber "codes" that were on the tag and based on that code, that is how you cleaned the furniture. Well, my husband and I looked everywhere and we cannot find any "codes" or tags for that matter. (The kids said that they tore the tags off... lovely :-) ). Anyway, the stains are not bad, but more like spills from sippy's of water, snacks, etc.. you really have to look close to even see them, but they still drive us insane! Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
I know some microfiber can be spot cleaned with soap and water. You could also try the foam upholstery cleaners that are at the store. Whatever you try, test it on a small section that isn't normally visible, like the back edge if a cushion.
I just use distilled water and a wash cloth, so far it has got all the stains out but then we had our microfiber couches stain guarded when we bought it. I also have a velvet couch that we have had for 18 years and wasn't stain guarded and water works for it as well and that couch is still in great shape with no stains.
Microfiber just takes a rag and water - make sure you do the whole top and not just the spots.
You could always go to the store and look at the tag on a new piece of furniture like yours. Assuming they still had some. :) Good luck!
Have you tried just water on a soft cloth? I did that with ours and it worked fine. You could also call a few stores and ask them what they'd recommend.
I use Spot Shot for my furniture, carpet etc. Its a great cleaner, and super cheap. You can find it almost anywhere, even the dollar store.
We just use water and a towel... it seems to do the job! I'm too nervous to use any treatments on it. :)
