How to Clean Upholstery With OxiClean

Step 1:

Spray the stained area with OxiClean.

Step 2:

Take your bristle brush and scrub the area down. If there are areas with badly embedded stains in the fabric, spray it again with OxiClean and let it soak for about 5 minutes before scrubbing.

Step 3:

Combine water with a few drops of dish soap and ounces of vinegar. Spray it to the stained area, then vacuum all the water out until the water being sucked out of the couch is clear. Make sure not to push down too hard when you are vacuuming as it may leave marks. If you are working with a microfiber couch, it’s important to work in sections and keep them evenly wet.

Do not wet your whole couch at once. Use a sponge to wet the rest of the section evenly.

Step 4:

Before the area dries, use the microfiber towel to rub the fibers down on your couch until they look even.
