Vacuuming fabric couches is the best way to maintain their cleanliness and remove crumbs and pet hair.
Start by consulting the care tag of your couch to understand which cleaning methods are appropriate – for instance, W indicates water-based cleaners while WS or S indicates solvent-based solutions must be used.
Vacuuming
Vacuuming or brushing your fabric sofa regularly will remove dirt, pet hair and crumbs while also helping prevent the build-up of fibers, which could otherwise make the couch lumpy and scratchy. For removable cushions that feature care guides marked W, S or X on their tags. Machine washing should generally be safe according to label instructions or consider using dry cleaner detergent without water as another option for effective maintenance.
Peterson recommends deodorizing your couch with baking soda and vacuuming after, or use a spray like GH Seal Star Febreze FABRIC that deodorizes and freshens upholstery; not only will it mask odors; it actually eliminates them completely!
Baking Soda
Baking soda is one of the most versatile and effective cleaning agents available, offering mildly abrasive action that can remove stains from upholstery, fabrics and floors alike. Furthermore, it acts as an efficient laundry detergent booster and helps control bacteria growth.
Fill fabric sofas liberally with baking soda and let it set for 15-20 minutes to deodorize and loosen stains, deodorize air-borne allergens, and deodorize odor-causing materials. For stubborn spots, make a paste from baking soda and water (a consistency similar to cake batter) and apply directly on top of the stain before allowing it to set for 15-20 minutes before vacuuming again.
By scrubbing with a damp microfiber rag and open windows and fans to hasten drying time. You could also rent a steam cleaner to quickly and thoroughly clean fabric couches; just be sure to follow all instructions and warnings on its label.

Vinegar
Vinegar has long been used to dissolve dirt, grease and grime. This cleaning solution works on water-safe fabrics as well as those requiring solvent cleaners (these typically carry an S label). When testing any cleaning solution it’s wise to conduct a preliminary test in an inconspicuous area first.
To use vinegar effectively, combine one cup of warm water with 1/2 cup white vinegar and one tablespoon of mild dish soap or Castile soap in a clean spray bottle, misting over any areas where there are stains. Use a microfiber cloth to scrub over these spots regularly before rinsing well afterwards.
After scrubbing, vacuum the sofa again using the brush attachment of your vacuum to get rid of baking soda and any other residue, including cushions you have removed from it. Air dry the fabric sofa as well as any cushions you removed prior to deep cleanings; Miller recommends spraying on Febreze Fabric Refresher in fragrances like lilacs, cranberry or morning dew between deep cleaning sessions to maintain its scent throughout its lifetime.
Alcohol
Rubbing alcohol is your go-to when it comes to tough stains on furniture. For wet spots, begin by blotting with paper towels to soak up as much moisture as possible, before choosing either a solvent- or water-based spot treatment (follow the specifications listed on your couch’s care tag), applying according to instructions, and then blotting dry the area afterwards with a clean cloth.
For spots requiring more intense treatment, soak a white sponge with rubbing alcohol and use it to scrub the couch in small sections until dirt and visible stains have vanished. When the couch is dry, use a nylon bristle brush to fluff up its nap for maximum comfort.
