"Michelle at Premier did a great job of educating me on how to care for my 20+-year-old leather coat, on what needed to be done to renew it, and cleaned it so it was almost like new. She also took over cleaning a fine Italian wool jacket I sent her, and even found buttons to replace ones on the sleeve that had fallen off She's professional, prompt, and gets the job done! I have no worries when I send my clothes to her in Calif from Wyoming (because we have no comparable specialty cleaners here)."

Yes, you can use upholstery cleaners on most couches. It’s always best to consult the manual and your couch's laundry instructions so you know you’re using it right and not causing any damage.
If your dog has fleas, you should clean your couch and other upholstered furniture immediately. Fleas can lay eggs on furniture, and you can help remove them by regularly and thoroughly vacuuming your couch. Steam cleaning after vacuuming is also essential because the high heat can help kill the eggs and fleas on contact.
While it may be possible to use a carpet cleaner on a couch, it is often not recommended and requires significant caution. Some carpet cleaners contain harsh or abrasive chemicals that are unsuitable for soft upholstery fabrics. To determine if it's safe, always check your couch's care tag, which dictates approved cleaning methods. If you decide to proceed, ensure the carpet cleaner has an upholstery attachment and that you are using a cleaning solution specifically designed for upholstery. It is also crucial to avoid oversaturating the fabric. Before cleaning the entire couch, always test the cleaner on a small, hidden area to check for potential damage or discoloration.
The best soap for a pressure washer is a mild multi-purpose cleaning agent. Mild dish soap works, but make sure to dilute it with a 1:4 ratio of soap to water to avoid clogging your machine. Sometimes you won’t even need a detergent when using a pressure washer. It all depends on how grimy your furniture is to start with.
Most professional cleaners recommend saddle soap, but a 1:1 solution of vinegar and water can work as well. Don’t skip the leather conditioner afterward, which will soften and preserve the leather to help prevent future cracks and tears.
