How do we remove stains from upholstered furniture? 
Carefully follow these step-by-step processes to get stains removed from your furniture as soon as possible;

Step  1. 
Quickly blot spills with a clean, white cloth, and then clean the spot as quickly as you can. The more time elapses, the more difficult it will be to remove those stains. Make sure you blot, and never rub a stain into the fabric. Rubbing the stain into fabric will only embed the stain into the material, making it harder to remove completely. 

Step 2.
For upholstered furniture, always lookout for an instruction tag before attempting to remove any stain. “W” means you can spot clean it with a water-based detergent. “S” indicates cleaning with a water-free product, like a dry-cleaning solvent. “SW” means you can use either water-based or dry-cleaning products. “X” indicates the item should be cleaned professionally. However, you should never wash slipcovers with a machine, it can cause them to shrink, take them to the dry cleaner instead. 

Step 3. 
Depending on the stain, you will probably have several options for washable upholstery depending on the stain. Test an inconspicuous area of the furniture before applying any product. 

Step 4.
Get most food and beverage stains out by swishing 1 tablespoon of dishwashing liquid with 2 cups of cool water and dabbing the resultant suns onto the stain with a clean, white cloth. Blot until the liquid has been absorbed. Repeat the blotting and dabbing until the stain is gone. Dab with cold water and blot dry.
Step 5. 
Follow the previous procedure for berries stain, but ensure you replace the dishwashing liquid solution with a mixture of 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, and ⅔ cups of rubbing alcohol. 

Step 6. 
If gravy, margarine, mayonnaise, cooking oil, or butter has left some grease marks, simply sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch on it, let it stand for about 15 minutes, then vacuum. After that, simply apply a dry-cleaning solvent to the area with a clean, white cloth, blotting it until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat with solvent as needed. 

Step 7. 
With spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, and yogurt stains, even on washable upholstery, use a dry-cleaning solvent. Apply it with a clean, white cloth, blotting, and repeating until the stain is gone.
