    It totally works, I have tested several cleaner, but surprisingly this works really well, I have a gray sofa similar to the one she's cleaning and almost all the stains disappear just a few remain, but I think if I do it again they will be gone. Thanks, great tip!

    Thank you so much for this. My mother never taught me how to clean these things and never showed me that the couch covers were washable. She would just scream and yell at me and call me an idiot. I spilled orange juice on my couch today and thought that i could just soak up the juice with paper towels but my mom saw and screamed at me. I literally watched this video in tear a while trying to fix it and it worked. You're a life saver. Thank you.

    Thank YOU Leslie. You inspired me to attack my butter yellow sectional today. It's OLD, built in 2007. I've never had the guts to take off the cushions because they're such a tight fit so the chaise, which can't be flipped over, was grey and stained. Most of the stains were from wet dogs. Today, I took off the cushion covers and washed them in the machine. While that was happening, I scrubbed the grey stains with your potion of Dawn and water. I used the toothbrush and also a miracle fibre cloth. The chaise cover came out grey when I washed it, so I took the chance and sprayed the whole thing with the Dawn solution then gave it another go in the machine. It worked! No more grey wet dog stains. They're a tight fit, but my daughter was able to help me shove the cushions back in their covers. I am AMAZED. I had this cleaned by Citruso a few years ago and the guy couldn't get the stains out, still it cost me $300. Today it looks almost new! Thank you again.

    You literally just saved me time and money, first I got a quote from a cleaner company for $400-500, then I said I already have a bissell lift off cleaner so I’ll do it myself. So I started scrubbing and saw this video, and my cushions are zipped. I tried one pillow in the laundry and it was soooo much whiter than the one I was scrubbing. After that, I basically threw the whole damn couch in the machine, thank you 🙏🏽

      So happy to have come across this video and this comment!! We purchased a z gallerie sectional almost 3 years ago. It was a light grey linen upholstery and I had no idea what I was getting to! On top of the constant pilling and the soiling of the couch, I thought that this was done for. I was getting desperate and got a cleaning quote. $600+!! I was really ready to toss this couch. Threw the covers in the washer and it’s like new!! Thank you so much for sharing your cleaning tips!

    I must comment to say thank you! I cannot believe that I've had my sofa for 15 years and before watching your video I'd never noticed that the cushions had zippers and could be removed and washed, :D :D :D lololol!!! I washed them with regular laundry detergent on cold on the permanent press setting, and then I let them air dry inside, and they laundered beautifully. I like my couch again! Thanks again, so much!

      I just want to add that, as a test, I first just washed the covers of the throw pillows that came with the couch in the same fabric. I wouldn't have cared if they didn't work out, but it was great. Then I went ahead and washed all of the rest.

    Most people dont know they can wash their cushion covers. I've done it many times on different pieces. Some covers can be cleaned in cold water with dish soap in the bathtub, then rinsed in clean cold water. You'd be amazed at how dirty the water becomes. Hang the covers over the side of the tub to dry - never dry in the dryer. They come out fresh and clean smelling.

    @hannahcampbell8511 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have ALWAYS done this. My old couch had removable seat cushions & cushion covers. But the backs didn’t remove at all so I eventually had to get a new one. Running a daycare is hard on my furniture. My new one I’ve never washed like this until just now so I hope it works ok & doesn’t mess them up. The backs are removable on this one! My son had horrible issues with potty training so on my old one I decided to buy 30gal trash bags & put the cushions in those bags then the covers over that to keep any funky smells from leaking into the actual cushion. Those sofa seat covers cleaned like a DREAM!! If the back would’ve been removable I could’ve kept it pristine forever. Hope my new one does the same !!

    @SmittenKitten. 6 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    Wanted to add that you (a general "you") might use distilled water. I once spot-cleaned an expensive desk chair from Pottery Barn, only to have the water itself leave a "ring." I _did_ end up getting it clean, but only after talking to Pottery Barn and recleaning the entire chair. Some places have more impurities in their water supply than others. I love the idea of a toothbrush, btw. The other brushes are generally too rough and can disturb the fabric. Thanks so much!

    • @canigetanemail
      @canigetanemail 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Glad you noted this. I had the same issue with an armchair that I wipe-washed and sadly noticed water marks once it had dried, making it look like someone had peed on the chair. Doh! I overcame it at the time by rewashing and making sure to do the whole chair before parts started drying so that the whole chair was wet at the same time and dried at the same time to avoid demarcation (water) lines. This was hard work to move so fast. I've since also learned (via a proessional upholstery cleaner on yt) that you can avoid the marks with distilled water. Unless you wash quickly enough then tap water doesn't matter.

      Hi there. Just remember to do a spot test first. TFW!

    What fabric is the sofa? Mine is Polypropylene from west elm as well. It says Spot Clean. But it’s white (Bermuda Natural) and very dirty! I don’t know what to do 🙈 Dawn, diluted peroxide, oxyclean? Thank you!

    the only additional thing I try to do is then rinse with water spray & use a shop vac to pull out the as much moisture as possible.

    My dry cleaner wants $100 to clean my cushion covers... It used to be about $40.... So I'm trying the washer.... Thanks For the tips... My only suggestion would be for those who have hard water, they may want to use distilled water in the spray bottle to prevent mineral straining.

    Hello,
    I really wanna do my lady a favor and clean her yellow fabric chair she got from ikea. It got a little dirty over time (i did my part 😄)
    Does your technique work in this case also ?
    Definitely going to use this on our grey sofa, thank you very much!

    • @LiveItUpLeslie
      @LiveItUpLeslie  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      How thoughtful of you to think about the special lady in your life! Ok, the cleaning mix that I used should be fine. However, remember to err on the side of caution and do a small spot test first. If all goes well, then you should be good to go. TFW!!!

    I would have liked to have seen how you got the covers back on to the base cushions. Like mine, yours look like a really tight fit.

    • @bustinmele5039

      I will say, Fold it in half put inside the covers and let it open up inside then zip it up.

      I'd use a tad of bicarb of soda, but i'm not an expert. Very good at removing smells though, gets rid of bacteria too.
