How To Clean Microfiber Couch With Rubdomain_7 Alcohol

Today my friends, I'm going to teach you how I saved a boat load of money by cleaning my own sofa! This method I have used for years now that I have had two microfiber sofas. I learned this method originally when my cute little toddler decided to take an ink pen to my couch cushions back in 2009. I knew alcohol takes out ink pen so I started by using a baby wipe and some hairspray. It worked alright but I needed more alcohol, so I tried rubbing alcohol and it worked like a charm.

Well, fast forward 2 1/2 years and that little toddler isn't quite as little. He did it again!!! On my sofa that is less than a year old! BAH!!! He got a big fat time out after this one. Mommy was not happy.

I used the alcohol again and spot cleaned the sofa but really didn't try that hard. It came out okay but not great. Then, I decided to do some research and figure out what tools to use with the alcohol to get the best results! Then, two months later, my kids'Z sippy cups have absolutely destroyed several sections of the sofa, mainly the arm rests and main cushions.

I'm only showing you this small section out of respect for myself. haha! I have some dignity people! 🙂 Here's what I did to save my poor little sofa's life!

You will need:

Rubbing alcohol and a spray bottle
White or very light sponges – I actually found sponges the exact same color as my couch. I say this to avoid any color transfer while scrubbing.
A white bristle scrub brush

First, use your spray bottle and saturate one section at a time with the rubbing alcohol.

Take your dry sponge and scrub scrub scrub! Put some muscle into and scrub vigorously. You will see the dirt, oil and grime start to come off on your sponge. I had the best results when I got it pretty wet then scrubbed really hard.

As you can see, this was ink pen that was on the sofa for about 2 months and it came out completely.

When the sofa is dry, take the dry white bristle brush and rub the sofa in a circular motion. This re-fluffs the fibers and makes it feel new again!

YAY!! Doesn't it look brand new???

I'm so proud of my scrubbing and my new "no sippy cups on the couch" policy is in full effect!

If you have microfiber in your home or car, ! You'll be happy you did. If not for you, share it with your dear friend with the microfiber and the toddlers! She'll thank you later! 🙂
