Microfiber Furniture Cleaner
If you have children and a piece of microfiber furniture, chances are you have looked for something to clean the cloth. It's forgiving but gets dirty really quick!
I had heard of using alcohol on fabrics before but I was leery, and afraid it would leave water spots. However, because the alcohol evaporates so quickly it doesn't leave any marks on your fabric, its a natural disinfectant and cleans perfectly. I used a lot of alcohol, probably more than I needed too but once I saw how well it removed dirt and ink I went a little crazy.
Microfiber Furniture Cleaner Supplies
- Alcohol (70%)
- Spray Bottle
- Scrubbing Sponge
- Soft Scrub Brush
Microfiber Furniture Cleaner Directions
- Pour alcohol into your spray bottle.
- If your cushions detach, vacuum your couch out well.
- Either take your cushions outdoors or open up some windows so you aren't overtaken by the alcohol fumes.
- Test a small area on your couch or cushions.
- Once tested, spray your cushions well – literally saturate them.
- Scrub them pretty aggressively, again test a small area first.
- Let your couch and cushions completely dry.
- Take a clean, soft scrub brush and rub all over couch and cushions in a circular motion to restore the nap of your microfiber.
Once the alcohol dries, there is no odor. And since it is a disinfectant it also works really well for removing surface odors.
Having your couches cleaned professionally could cost several hundred dollars. This way cost about $4 and 2 hours of hard work – more than worth the price difference! But from the before and after, you can see that this works! Let me know if you give this method a try!

Just wanted to clarify are you using rubbing alcohol?
Michaela, yeap!
Although this post is from 1/2 a year ago, I wanted to say thanks, as I am going to try it this weekend! Looking forward to seeing the results, but will spot test, especially since you mentioned it twice :-] And I don’t want to replace the couch *wink* But even 6 months later, your posts have not gone by the wayside :-]
Hi Rob, thanks for stopping by! It’s an older post but it’s one of those timeless posts :) I’d love to hear how it works for you!
