Have you recently cleaned your sofa? That's how it works, of course.

For most fabrics, Maker notes that you can start treating deeper stains by scraping the cured parts with a damp cloth with water or a stain remover (which of course works with your material). Be careful not to use too much stain remover, otherwise a soap ring will remain. Think about how a handkerchief feels when you sneeze - that means "wet" here.

From there, Rubinchek recommends Castilla soap . "It's similar to dish soap, but it's generally natural. It's based on vegetables or hemp, not petroleum," she says. "If you have a natural dish soap, you can use it too." Because the Castilla soap is so concentrated, you should place a small stain on your stain and then rub it well with a sponge or white cloth (so that no color is transferred to the sofa).

See? Cleaning your sofa doesn't have to be so daunting. With a little vacuum, a clean here and there, and a good clean place if necessary, your sofa can still be great.
