Answer 2

I was wondering the same thing but I wouldn't want to risk it. In my area there is a company called "Stanley Steamer" that does steam cleaning on carpets and furniture. A friend of mine used them on her couches and said they looked brand new. If you have that company in your area, I would call them. I believe it only costs around $35 to get it done. If not, try to test a small, hidden area of the couch to see if the carpet shampooer will work with the fabric.

Answer 3

It's probably not OK to use carpet shampoo on microfiber furniture. There should be a letter on the tags on your furniture that have a "code" that tells you how to clean it.

Your best bet is to use a dry cleaning solution or possibly rubbing alcohol.

Answer 4

I just drop about a half of a teaspoon of soap into a sink full of water and then dunk a rag in it, then I just wipe down the covers, have not had any problems. Also, the covers come off of my cushions so when I feel like a good clean, I take them off and put them in the washer (ON THE GENTLE CYCLE), microfiber is awesome!

Answer 5

It's never ok to us a carpet shampooer. They tend to leave things too wet for too long and the cleaners have a high pH so they leave a residue. Call a few local carpet and upholstery cleaners and get prices to have it professionally done. Also, call the manufacturer to ask how.

Answer 6

start with dish soap, if that don't work mild detergent, carpet shampoo should be saved for last but micro fiber is pretty color fast
