Before you start cleaning the couch, vacuum it to remove any loose dirt or debris. Use the upholstery attachment to get into all the nooks and crannies. 2.

Mix a cleaning solution:

In a bucket or bowl, mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Do not use too much soap, as this can leave a residue on the couch. 3.

Before you apply the cleaning solution to the entire couch, test it on a small, inconspicuous area to make sure it does not damage the material. If the solution does not damage the material, proceed to the next step. 4.
