The Best Way to Clean Couch Cushions
- 1). Sweep the cushions with a vacuum cleaner hose attachment. This will collect pet hair, food crumbs and other loose buildup. Remember to clean not only the top of the cushions, but also the bottom and sides as well.
- 2). Mix 2 cups water and 1 tsp. laundry detergent in a bowl. Stir vigorously with a spoon to create soap suds.
- 3). Dip a cleaning rag into the mixture, scooping up as many soap suds as possible.
- 4). Scrub the soapy mixture into the couch cushions, rubbing the rag in large circle motions.
- 5). Repeat as necessary, dipping the rag back into the soapy water as needed.
- 6). Flip over the cushions, and repeat this process on the other side. Allow the cushions to air dry before placing back on your couch. This typically takes 2-3 hours.
