Deep Cleaning Fabric Sofas with the Bissell Little Green
Fabric couches absorb skin oils, dust, and food spills over time. Here is the step-by-step guide to restoring your couch safely.
Step-by-Step Sofa Cleaning Protocol:
- Vacuum First: Vacuum all loose dirt, pet hair, and crumbs off the sofa using a crevice tool.
- Check Cleaning Code: Verify your sofa fabric tag lists code W (Water-safe) or SW (Solvent/Water-safe). Do not use water extractors on code S (Dry clean only) fabrics.
- Fill Clean Tank: Mix warm tap water (not boiling) with 2 oz of Bissell Upholstery Formula.
- Pre-Treat Heavy Stains: Spray stain areas and let formula sit for 5 minutes.
- Spray & Extract: Squeeze the trigger to spray formula while scrubbing with the 3-inch tough stain brush. Release trigger and pull the nozzle firmly over fabric to extract dirty water.
- Dry Time: Open windows or turn on a ceiling fan. Fabric will dry completely within 3 to 4 hours.
