How to Get Stains Out of Micro Fiber Couch

I have also had the worst luck with our microfiber couch. The thing that I finally found that seems to be the best and easiest is to get some baking soda like you put in the fridge and it has instructions on the box to make a cleaner. I just mixed the soda and water in a spray bottle and it works great. I take the cusions outside and spray them down, if there are bad stains I will use a scrub brush then let them dry in the sun and they are back to new. They are a little stiff at first but after a day or so of being back on the couch they are fine. Good Luck!

We clean ours whenever my daughter decides to draw on it with ink or my husband spills something. My husband cleaned them the other day and the ink came out and his spill stains. All we do is get a little bucket luke warm water with a little very little dish soap ( the store said mild soap) then take a regular face cloth rag whatever u want to call it and ring the rag out VERY well and wipe the heck out of the couch scrub a little more for the spots but DO NOT soak the couch use the rag as dry as possible or It'll get water stains/spots. Works for us! Good luck but u do have to do a very large section for it to look clean.

I usually use a wet rag to clean ours, but here's a website I found for you:

We had a micro fiber couch and I was able to take the covers off of the cushions and wash and dry them in my front loader machines which helped a whole lot. We have dogs and they smelled so I was them several times before drying them. A lot of the stains came out and we donated the couch to a needy family who had no furniture and it looked like new.

Hey J.:

I work for a restoration company. We do clean upholstery very often. I think that it would be best for you to have the entire sofa cleaned. Although, the companies advertise that the micro-fiber sofas are very cleanable, this may not always be the case. When cleaning microfiber, we have to clean the entire sofa (no spot cleaning) and then brush it every 30 minutes. If it dries unevenly, it will dry different colors. The total cleaning is a long process, if it is done correctly.

We also own a micro fiber living room set. There was a cleaning set that came with our scotch guard protection plan. Call your local furniture store and ask if they sell the protection plan cleaner seperately. It has been amazing at getting out all the stains my 3 yr old has created.

Our microfiber sofa is 3 1/2 years old. We had it sprayed when bought at Mathis Brothers. So far, I've cleaned food, blood, ink, crayon, pencil marks, and who know what else out of it. What did I use? A washcloth and water! Never had a problem getting a stain out (even a sharpie came out with a few swipes of a damp cloth) my sofa still looks brand new. They gave me some home treatment too that I'm suppose to spray on it after I clean it (protector), but honestly I always forget to do that part.

I have always used Ivory dishwashing soap. I have gotten everything from juice to permanent marker out of my very light colored micro fiber couch. Good luck and God Bless!!

i know it sounds odd, but there were pen marks and juice stains from my 18 month old on our microfiber couch, and i used hairspray to get them out. The pen came out no prob. the juice didn't come out but it is a lot less noticeable now. just spray the hairspray on the stain and pat it dry. do that as many times as necessary - took me about 3 times to get it looking the way it does now. hope this helps!!!

I use lysol or clorox wipes on mine. Seems to do the trick!

Resolve (upholstery cleaner) has worked great for us. It looks lighter in color at first, so don't be surprised. The lighter-ness goes away in a couple of days. Just scrub in and wipe dry. It's gotten everything from pen ink to puke out of our couch - lifesaver! :)

My son just drew on ours with crayon - ruined two cushions (or so we thought). No, the "hot iron and paper towel" trick did NOT work. Used a toothbrush and a small cup of dishwashing liquid mixed with cold water. Dip in solution, brush surface with toothbrush really good for 15-30 seconds, dip, brush again, dip clean white cloth in plain cold water, blot the part you just toothbrushed, then repeat with the remainder of the stain. Now, the stain is all gone. Took 1/2 hour but it's good as new!
