Your visual guide

Blot first; treat only as permitted

1. Lift and blot

Lift solids gently. Press a clean absorbent cloth onto liquid without scrubbing.

2. Check compatibility

Identify the stain and read the cover and cleaner labels.

3. Clean and dry

Wash only if allowed. Check the stain before any label-approved heat drying.

Do not rub or improvise cleaner mixtures. Test a compatible treatment in a hidden area and follow its instructions.

A spill on your sofa cover doesn't have to be a disaster. The key is acting quickly and using the right technique. Here is your emergency guide to saving your fabric.

The Golden Rule: BLOT, Don't Rub

If you take away nothing else, remember this: never rub a stain! Rubbing pushes the liquid deeper into the fibers and spreads it around. Always blot gently with a clean, dry microfiber cloth or paper towel to lift the moisture straight up.

Tackling Common Stains

  • Coffee/Tea: Blot promptly, then use a treatment specifically permitted for the fabric and stain.
  • Oil/Grease (Food): Lift solids without rubbing. Choose a compatible grease treatment and follow its instructions.
  • Ink: Ask about a fabric-compatible ink treatment; solvents can affect dyes or backing. Test in a hidden area or use a professional cleaner.

When to Wash

Follow the treatmentā€™s rinse or wash instructions within the coverā€™s permitted care method. Machine wash only if allowed, and inspect the stain before any permitted heat drying. Do not mix stain removers with other household cleaners.
