Can You Use a Carpet Cleaner on a Sofa?
Many household carpet cleaner machines include an upholstery attachment, but that does not mean every sofa is safe to clean with water extraction. The fabric cleaning code is the first thing to check.
Check the fabric code first
A water-safe code may allow controlled extraction, while solvent-only or delicate fabrics should not be cleaned with a typical carpet cleaner.
Use an upholstery attachment
Do not use a floor head on furniture. Upholstery tools apply solution and suction in a smaller area and reduce the chance of soaking cushions.
Avoid over-wetting
Too much water can leave rings, odors, slow drying and possible damage to foam or backing materials. Make multiple dry extraction passes after applying solution.
