Can Upholstery Cleaning Remove Stains From a Couch?

Many upholstery stains can be improved or removed, but the result depends on the fabric, stain, age and previous treatments. The first step is identifying the upholstery material and determining an appropriate cleaning process.

Fabric identification

Care codes and fiber content guide the method.

Spot testing

Treatments are tested in a hidden area first.

Food and drink

Common spills often respond well.

Old stains

Set stains may lighten rather than disappear.

Permanent discoloration

Dye loss cannot be cleaned away.
