Would you like to know how to wash couch cushion covers? What can you do about stains on your couch? Here’s how!
Using a water vacuum cleaner is the best way to clean your cushion cover. Upholstery attachments from a hydro cleaning system (wide attachments with fabric strips to clean dirt from cushions, sofas, mattresses, etc.) remove dust, dirt, hair or fur from the cushion covers. Quickly wipe the covers down afterward. The cushions can be cleaned with a sponge soaked in a small amount of water and detergent. After cleaning, spray the cushions with air freshener.
Tips on spot cleaning the stained non-removable cushion covers
Accidents and spills usually leave stains on the cushion covers, and you may feel frustrated when you can’t remove the stained covers from the cushions to clean them. Here are some tips on how to clean these stained cushion covers. Depending on the type of spill and the type of fabric on which it was spilled, the cleaning method will be different.
You’re more likely to successfully remove a stain from a cushion if you catch it and clean it as soon as possible.
Scoop and dab
Using a knife or spoon, remove any remaining solids or liquids from the stain. After that, use a dry white cloth to blot the stain. You will minimize the stain’s appearance by doing this. After that, dampen another white cloth with cool water and dab it on the stain. You should only dab the stained area of the cushion and not spread it. Do not rub the stain or push it hard because this could damage the cushion.
Rinse, wash and repeat
While some stains can be removed with water, others require a thorough cleaning. In this case, you will need a solution of detergent and water or stain remover and water. Dilute a small amount of detergent or stain remover with water to make a solution. Using a white cloth, apply the solution to the stained area, and allow it to set for 5-10 minutes. Using another white cloth, dampen it with only water and wipe the stained area to remove the solution. Continue this process until the stain is completely removed.
Deodorize
Many stains retain their odor even after they have been removed. The best way to remove the smell from your cushion cover is to make a solution. Apply the baking soda paste to the stained area after mixing equal parts baking soda and water. Let the solution sit for about five to ten minutes. Use a damp cloth to wipe away the solution. Be sure to remove the solution completely.
