Step-by-Step Guide to Remove Upholstery Stains

Step 1: Remove Excess Residue

If the stain is fresh, blot it gently with a clean, dry cloth to soak up as much liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this will push the stain deeper into the upholstery fabric. If the stain is dry, lightly brush off any loose residue using a soft brush.

Step 2: Prepare the Magic Cleaning Solution

In a bowl, mix the following ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon of dish soap
  • 1 tablespoon of white vinegar
  • 2 cups of warm water

Add this mixture to a spray bottle for easy application. The dish soap will break down grease and dirt, while vinegar acts as a natural stain remover and deodorizer.

Step 3: Sprinkle Baking Soda

Before spraying the cleaning solution, sprinkle a light layer of baking soda directly onto the stain. Baking soda works as a gentle abrasive and helps lift stains while neutralizing odors. Let it sit for 2 minutes.

Step 4: Apply the Cleaning Solution

Spray the prepared cleaning solution directly over the stained area. Don’t oversaturate the fabric—just enough to dampen the stain.

  • Allow the solution to sit for 3-5 minutes. This gives the vinegar and dish soap time to break down the stain particles.

Step 5: Gently Scrub

Using a soft brush or old toothbrush, gently scrub the stain in a circular motion. Start from the edges of the stain and work your way to the center to avoid spreading it.
