How to Clean a Sofa Cushion

Cleaning a sofa cushion is easy, provided there are no existing stains on it. Here is an easy way to clean a sofa cushion.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Vacuum
• Upholstery Cleaner

1. The first step in cleaning a sofa cushion, would be to thoroughly vacuum it with a small vacuum or a vacuum with a hose attachment.

2. If you have a zippered cover on your sofa cushion, cleaning will be really easy for you. You just simply need to remove the sofa cushion cover and toss it in your washing machine. Be sure to follow the washing instructions.

3. If your sofa cushion is not removable or is not machine washable, you'll need to wash it by hand. This takes a little more effort, but is still really simple. Use a carpet shampooer with hose attachments and gently go over the entire sofa cushion to thoroughly clean it and make it look like new again!

4. If you don't have a shampooer to clean your sofa cushion, consider renting one or asking a friend or family member to borrow theirs.

5. Spray the sofa cushion with a great smelling air freshener.

Tips & Warnings

• Clean up any spills right away with cold water. Soak up the spill and blot, never rub.
• If you'd rather not clean your sofa cushion yourself, consult a professional.
• Always make sure any cleaning agents you use to clean with are okay to use with the fabric type of your sofa.
