I have a sectional sofa that is a very light cream color. It is made from that suede like, micro fiber (that is supposedly easy to clean). Well, our newest dog was having a little trouble with accidents on the couch, and I am having trouble cleaning them. The initial stain and odor was easy to get out using sofa or upholstry cleaners. However, our sofa is now covered in small rings. It has left a ring around each stain I have cleaned, like a watermark. I have tried to clean those, but just get newer, bigger watermarks. How can I stop this cycle? What is the best way to clean a sofa like ours? Its only a year old, but I'm so frustrated, I'm about to buy a new sofa. Help me please!

My microfiber pieces are dark colors so I am not sure if it will work for you but I use baby wipes.

When we bought our microfiber couch the salesperson told me to use rubbing alchohol for spots or spills. Sounds harsh but it works! I don't get any rings, you can't tell that anything spilled at all.
I'm not sure if all micro-fiber is the same but maybe you could try rubbing alchohol (on a cotton ball or small cloth) on a part of the couch that's hidden?

hello, i was reading your question and i think...i think now, not i know.. i think if you use some kind of dye like the color of the couch maybe that would work. since you have the stain out now it's clean. lol make it dirty with dye but with the color you want it to be. if this doesn't answer your question i'm still glad to help. see ya.
