Pet Stain Removal: Folex v Vinegar Shootout

Whether it’s muddy paws, shedding, or the occasional accident, maintaining a clean couch can feel like an uphill battle. But don’t worry – we’re here to help. Today, we’re sharing some tried-and-tested methods to help you get those stubborn stains out of your fabric couch. We’re specifically covering how to clean a Restoration Hardware Cloud Couch, but these methods should work on most fabric couches.

Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover

One of our go-to products for removing stains from fabric couches is Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover. This non-toxic solution is safe for both your pets and your couch. It’s especially great for tackling those tough stains.

To use Folex, just follow these easy steps:

  1. Test the solution on a small, hidden area of your couch to ensure it doesn’t discolor the fabric.
  2. Spray the Folex solution directly onto the stained area.
  3. Gently blot and rub the area with a clean, damp cloth.
  4. Allow the area to dry.

We’ve used this method on our own Restoration Hardware Cloud Couch numerous times, and it works like a charm.

White Vinegar Solution

If you’re looking for a natural, DIY solution, a homemade white vinegar solution can be highly effective at pet stain removal.

Here’s how you can use it:

  1. Combine equal parts white vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle.
  2. Spritz the solution onto the stained area, being careful not to soak the fabric.
  3. Blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth to lift the stain and absorb the solution.
  4. Once the area is dry, you may notice a slight vinegar smell. This will dissipate on its own, but you can speed up the process by sprinkling baking soda on the area, letting it sit for 15-20 minutes, and then vacuuming it up.

Extra Tips for Keeping Your Couch Clean

Remember, the sooner you address a pet stain, the better your chances of removing the pet stain completely. If your pets are prone to accidents, consider investing in a couch cover to protect your furniture. You can also use a pet-friendly fabric spray to keep your couch smelling fresh and clean.

Keeping a clean home when you have pets is a challenge, but with these cleaning methods in hand, you’re well-prepared to tackle any stains that come your way. So go ahead and cuddle with your furry friends on your couch – you’ve got this under control!
