Start by thoroughly vacuuming the entire couch using an upholstery attachment. This removes loose debris, dust, and pet hair, which helps OxiClean work more effectively.
Mix the solution:
Dissolve 1 scoop of OxiClean in 2 cups of warm water. Stir until completely dissolved. Pour into a spray bottle if you prefer controlled application.
Spot test first:
Always test the mixture on a hidden part of the couch to ensure it doesn’t discolor or damage the fabric. Wait 10–15 minutes and check the results.
Apply to stains and dirty areas:
Lightly spray or dab the solution onto stained or high-traffic sections. Use a white cloth to avoid dye transfer. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, but do not oversaturate.
Blot, don’t scrub:
Gently blot the treated areas with a clean, damp cloth. If needed, use a soft brush to work the solution in circular motions for tougher stains.
Rinse lightly:
Dampen a clean cloth with plain water and blot the area to remove any OxiClean residue.
Dry completely:
Allow the couch to air dry fully. Open windows or use a fan to speed up drying and avoid mildew.
