How To Clean A Couch Naturally

Cleaning

Share it with others!

I'm at it again, a new challenge of how to clean a couch naturally. Well, to put this to the test, I cleaned my friend's couch. Why is this a key piece - who would risk ruining their friend's couch?!!! So I found a way to safely clean her couch with items I already had at home, and I wanted to share the results with you.

I’m at it again, a new challenge of how to clean a couch naturally. Well, to put this to the test, I cleaned my friend’s couch. Why is this a key piece – who would risk ruining their friend’s couch?!!! So I found a way to safely clean her couch with items I already had at home, and I wanted to share the results with you.

Start by vacuuming your couch. I started by using my crevices tool and this tool gets in all the creases. My friend's couch's cushions were all attached. I went in every crease that couch had. If your cushions are not attached - remove the cushions and get in all the creases all over the couch.

*Before beginning – know what fabric is on your couch. There are usually tags on your couch that says if it can be cleaned with water or must be dry cleaned, etc.

Start by vacuuming your couch. I started by using my crevices tool and this tool gets in all the creases. My friend couch’s cushions were all attached. I went in every crease that couch had. If your cushions are not attached – remove the cushions and get in all the creases all over the couch.

Next I put on my vacuum's turbine tool - this is a little head that has an attachment that spins like a larger attachment you have on your carpet floor. If you don't have one of these attachments, it's okay just use the attachment that came with your vacuum. Vacuum every surface area of the couch.

The next step is to deodorize your couch. Sprinkle baking soda on the couch and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. You can leave it longer if you wish.

After the time is up, vacuum up the baking soda.

Next I used a damp microfiber cloth to wipe the entire couch down. You would be surprised what that little cloth will pull out of your couch. I used the Norwex Evirocloth.

If stains still remain, another option is to steam clean your couch. (If you don't have a steam cleaner you can use a very warm damp wash cloth and blot at your couch's spot.) Steam the couch and use the microfiber cloth to clean up the spots. The steam and heat allows for the stain to release.

I also used the steamer to help revive some of the areas on the couch that were most used and the fabric had been "crushed" down. The steam brought those areas back to life.

For a spot cleaner - mix together 1/8 tsp of dish or castile soap and 1 cup warm water in a squirt bottle.

    Great ideas, thank you! Our current couches here in our Prairie Home {41′ fifth wheel RV} are pleather so they are soooo easy to vacuum the pockets then wipe down with a cloth. Sometimes I do this daily. πŸ™‚

    Pinning to my Cleaning board for everyone to see. <3

    What a great post! I’m not sure many couches get such a lovely, thorough clean, and all using natural things to do it too! Thank you so much for sharing this post with the Hearth and Soul Link Party, Chas. Scheduling to share on the H&S Link Party page. Hope you have a lovely weekend!

    Chas,what a good friend you are! Thanks for all the great advice. We have a fabric couch from Pottery Barn in the pool house that could probably use some love. I never thought to use baking soda! Will be on my spring project clean up list this year.
