A big advantage of microfiber sofas is their high resistance to stains. However, this does not mean that this fabric is completely resistant to dirt and all stains. You need to regularly clean the sofa, especially when stains appear. The first thing to do is read the label on the item and see if water can be used to clean it. From there, you can try to apply many methods to get the sofa as clean as you want.
Steps
Determine the sofa cleaning method

Check the label for instructions on how to care for the sofa. Microfiber upholstered furniture is often labeled with one of four codes that indicate materials that can be cleaned: W is a water-based cleaning solvent, S is a non-aqueous solvent, and S/W is both two types, and X is not using both types above (ie only vacuuming).

Do not assume that water is a material that can be safely used. If there is no label on the sofa or the instructions are unclear, do not assume that water can be used to clean the sofa. Instead, you should assume that water should not be used. In this case, you need to apply methods of vacuuming, scrubbing with a dry brush or use products that do not contain water.

Choose the right cleaning solution. You need to determine the type of solution to use before you start cleaning the sofa. Effective water-based solutions include mild soaps, mild dish soaps, carpet cleaners, and upholstery soaps. Non-aqueous solvents include alcohol, colorless alcohols such as gin or vodka, dry cleaning solvents, lighter fuel, wet wipes, and oxygen-free bleach solutions. [3] X Research Sources
General cleaning

Vacuum the sofa. This step is to remove dirt and loosen the grit. You should use the soft brush head attached to the straw. Do not use strong suction, as the fabric may be sucked out and become wrinkled. [4] X Research Sources
- The sofa should be vacuumed once a week.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7c/Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7c/Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered- Sofa-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Scrub stains with a clean, dry brush. Since liquids are avoided as much as possible, start scrubbing the stains with a dry brush. This step will help remove dry stains from the fabric. Rub your hands gently to avoid stretching the surface of the fabric. [5] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a1/Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a1/Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered- Sofa-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remove the seat cushion. Specifically, you need to remove the seat cushions, backrest mattresses and removable pillows. Vacuum and scrub the exposed areas. Use the end of the vacuum cleaner to clean dust or grit in hard-to-reach places if necessary. [6] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9a/Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Microfiber- Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9a/Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-7.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Test the solution first on a hidden spot. Pour a small amount of the solution onto a clean cloth. Gently rub on a small part of the fabric in an inconspicuous place. Wait for it to dry before checking for damage to the fabric surface. [7] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ef/Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ef/Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered- Sofa-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Clean the sofa with the chosen solution. If the solution you intend to use does not damage the fabric, you can start cleaning the sofa. Use a clean towel or sponge to gently scrub. Do not soak the sofa with water. You should only use a few drops and add more if needed. [8] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/87/Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/87/Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered- Sofa-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Dry wet areas. Even though the solution won’t leave a stain, it’s still a good idea to dry wet areas with a hair dryer right after you’ve finished cleaning. Use the coolest setting of your hair dryer. Hold the dryer about 15 cm away from the fabric and dry until the solution is completely evaporated. [9] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c3/Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c3/Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered- Sofa-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Re-brush the treated area with a clean, dry brush. Microfiber usually hardens after being washed, but you can restore its normal texture with a little brushing. Remember to use a soft brush. [10] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/86/Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Microfiber- Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/86/Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-11.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-a-Microfiber-Uphpstered-Sofa-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Reinstall the sofa. Once all the mattresses have been cleaned, you can put the mattresses back on the sofa. Your sofa will look like new again. You can also brush and vacuum again if you are not completely satisfied with the results.

Use baking soda and water. Mix baking soda and water in a bowl to form a paste. Apply the mixture to the stain and wait a few minutes, then wipe it off. [12] X Research Source

Remove grease stains with WD-40 oil. If you don’t have WD-40 oil, you can replace it with Dawn dishwashing liquid. Rub a small amount of product onto grease stains and blot with a towel or sponge. Rinse with water until the stain is gone. Avoid using this method on sofas that do not use water. [13] X Research Source

Clean the gum with ice water. Don’t use this method if your sofa is water-resistant. Rub the ice cube over the gum until the gum solidifies, then peel it off. Do not be impatient, or you will damage the surface of the fabric. [14] X Research Source
- If the stain remains, you can use a mixture of warm water and laundry detergent to scrub until the stain is gone.
- Call for professional service. If you are not sure how to remove stains or clean your sofa properly, seek professional service. If you keep trying to remove the stain, you may end up damaging the chair. Search online for sofa cleaning services in your area. [15] X Research Source
Advice
- Clean up stains when they first appear to keep the sofa looking great. The microfiber fabric is relatively water-resistant, so you can easily wipe away water-based stains before they’ve caught on. You just need to blot with a paper towel or cloth with good absorbency. Do not rub on freshly spilled stains so that they do not penetrate deep into the fibers of the fabric.
- Spray fabric protection product on sofa once cleaned. [16] X Research Source
Warning
- Do not let the sofa get wet with the cleaning solution. Use as little cleaning solution as possible.
- Never use products containing acetone or bleach to clean sofas. [17] X Research Source
