How to Steam Clean a Microfiber Couch
- 1). Clean all items off the couch so it is clear for steam cleaning. Remove the seat cushions.
- 2). Vacuum underneath the seat cushions with a normal vacuum cleaner hose to remove all large debris.
- 3). Pre-treat all spots and stains with a stain remover. Spray the stain remover on the spots and let it sit for 30 seconds. Rub it with a cloth or scrub brush (depending on how deep the stain is) to work the solution into the fibers of the couch.
- 4). Fill a bucket with hot tap water and add the steam-cleaning solution. Read the label on the back of the solution to figure out the correct ratio of water to cleaner.
- 5). Remove the tank from the steam cleaner. Pour the solution from Step 4 into the filter basket. Replace the tank and snap it back into place.
- 6). Plug in the steam cleaner and set it to upholstery mode. Remove the hose from the holder on the back of the machine and put one of the brush attachments onto it. Turn on the machine.
- 7). Press the steam button and run the hose backward over the surface of the couch. Stop pressing the steam button about 6 inches before you stop dragging the hose to make sure you get all the water off the couch. Repeat until done.
- 8). Allow the cushions and frame to dry completely before placing the cushions back on the couch.
