The care label on your couch should tell you how to clean it.It is safe to use water when cleaning your couch.If you use water, the S-label couch will react well to it.You can use either water or a special solvent, but you can't use any liquid at all if you have a X-label.If you want to clean the couch cushions, you should only use a vacuum.If you can't find a care tag on your couch, a safe way to proceed is to treat it as if it has an S-tag.
Step 2: The couch cushions need to be removed.
Remove the cushions from your couch if you can.This will allow you to clean both sides of the cushion.If you don't have to clean the whole cushion, be extra careful.
Step 3: You can use a brush to work up the nap.
Working against the grain of the cushion, brush it with a suede brush.It helps you saturate the cushion with cleaner by lifting up the nap.A clean bath towel will work just as well if you don't have a brush.
Step 4: The proper cleaning solution should be mixed.
For couches with W-labels, fill a spray bottle with warm water and add a few squirts of dish soap.If your couch has an S-label care tag, fill a water bottle with rubbing alcohol.
Step 5: The solution should be applied to small sections.
If you want to refresh your couch, you have to clean your whole cushions.If you are using a cleaning solution, spray a small area so that it is not soaked.
Step 6: The solution should be rubbed in with a white towel.
You can rub the section you sprayed with a white towel.Rub the cleaning solution into the fabric from the inside.If you want to prevent a color transfer from your towel to the couch, use a white towel.

Step 20: Remove the wax from the couch.
To avoid damaging the fabric, go slowly.It should come off cleanly.If you see that it isn't completely frozen, apply the ice to the gum or wax.
