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.

It might be possible to wash your couch upholstery, but we don’t recommend it. Couches labeled with a “W” or “W/S” on the tag might be okay to wash gently with a couch cleaner or a homemade couch cleaning solution, but you have to be very careful not to get the padding underneath wet, as it will deteriorate and potentially ruin your couch. You should hire a professional upholstery cleaner to guarantee a safe, deep clean for your favorite furniture items.

Steam and vinegar are excellent cleaners, but it’s best not to put vinegar in your steam cleaner unless explicitly approved by the manufacturer. If you don’t dilute the vinegar properly, it can damage the steam cleaner, and using a non-approved cleaning solution in the machine can void the manufacturer’s warranty.

The best steam cleaner depends on what you need to steam clean. The most consumer-friendly option is a steam mop for hard-surface floors, like tile, which is particularly effective at cleaning the grout. While you can use a steam mop for other things, a canister steam cleaner is more versatile in what it can clean, helping you tackle windows, counters, and even your car. A handheld steam cleaner is your best bet if you’re looking for a more portable solution to get into hard-to-reach places.
