Now, target those stains. For a “W” couch, mix a tiny drop of mild dish soap with warm water. Dip a clean microfiber cloth—never soak it—and dab the stain gently. Blot, don’t rub. Rubbing pushes the stain deeper into the fibers and creates a weird halo effect. For an “S” couch, use a commercial upholstery cleaner designed for solvent-only fabrics.
If you’re feeling brave, sprinkle a little baking soda on the stain before blotting. It absorbs odors like a charm. Just don’t make a pie out of it later.
