01. Brush the entire sofa with a stiff brush
This helps to loosen up and remove any dirt that might have settled into the nooks and crannies of your sofa. If you do not have a stiff brush, you could also use a piece of white cloth for this step. Do not use any coloured ones as its colour might transfer onto your sofa – and you definitely do not want another stain to deal with.
If you have any substance that got onto your sofa such as mud from your dog’s paws after a walk, you can allow it to dry first before removing it. It will come off a lot easier! If you want to remove it before it dries, before not to rub it which will cause the surface of the stained area larger. Instead, use a dabbing motion.

03. Mix vinegar with baking soda for spot cleaning
If you are working with a dark coloured sofa, do a spot test on the underside of the sofa to check if the mixture will cause any discolouration. If it doesn’t, you can proceed! Mix some vinegar with baking soda and leave the mixture on for around 3-4hours to dry. After the mixture has dried up, vacuum it away. If there are still some stains left, repeat this step until it is fully removed.
