The time it takes your couch to dry after cleaning will depend on several factors, such as fabric type, cleaning method, room temperature, and humidity. Dry time can be as little as one hour or as long as 24 hours. You can shorten drying time by using a fan, opening a window, or using a dehumidifier. Just make sure not to sit on your couch until it’s completely dry, otherwise it may become moldy or leave an odor.

To remove mold from fabric that’s part of your wood furniture, the best option is to take the fabric off and place it in the washing machine. If you cannot take the fabric off, it helps to move the furniture out into the sun. Use a high-quality vacuum to remove any mold spores that are present. You can try spraying the mold with a 50/50 vinegar-water mixture. Hydrogen peroxide is also a possibility for removing mold from fabric, but it could damage certain types of fabric.

The first thing you should do when cleaning smoke damage is open all your windows to ventilate the affected area and run an air purifier with a HEPA filter. Cover your furniture and belongings to prevent soot accumulation, and vacuum any soot that’s on the floor and other surfaces. Be sure to wear a mask, gloves, and eye protection when cleaning the affected area.

Similarly to cleaning a mattress, another common question is whether you can clean a couch with a carpet cleaner. Yes, you can use a carpet cleaner to clean a couch, especially if it comes with an upholstery attachment and you're using the right cleaning solution. Just like with mattresses, it’s important to avoid oversaturating the fabric and to use products that are safe for upholstery. Always check the care tag on your couch and spot-test a hidden area before deep cleaning to avoid discoloration or damage.
