When you have young children, it can feel like having nice things is impossible. Our beautiful leather couch had to be replaced because of the damage caused by our little ones. So, we turned to the second-hand market, knowing that we would probably have to replace it again in a few years. Why spend $1250 on a new couch when you can get a gently used one for $250?

Discovering the Magic of Oxi Clean

After purchasing a used couch from Craigslist, I discovered the magic of Oxi Clean. The washable covers have saved me multiple times from stains caused by various “incidents.” However, there was one stubborn berry stain that I just couldn’t remove from the upholstery.

That’s when I turned to OxiClean Stain. This multi-purpose product has over 101 uses, making it a great value for money. But for now, let’s focus on using it to clean your couch.

Cleaning Ingredients You’ll Need

To clean your couch effectively, gather the following ingredients:

• 1 cup of water
• Oxi-Clean scoop (to the “B” line)
• funnel
• spray bottle

Step-by-Step Couch Cleaning Process

1. Add the OxiClean to hot water (no need to heat it, just use the hottest setting from your faucet). Stir well to combine.
2. Pour the mixture through a funnel into your spray bottle, attach the nozzle, and shake well to further combine.
3. Spray the stained areas of your couch until they are wet but not completely saturated. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes.
4. Use a damp white cloth to wipe away the stain after the 5 minutes. Then follow up with a dry white cloth to remove any excess stain treatment.

And there you have it! Your couch stains should be a thing of the past.

The Versatility of Oxi Clean

The solution you just created is effective for about 8 hours. So why not take advantage of its power and tackle all the upholstered items in your house? I used the leftover solution to treat our dining room chairs, and they look so much better now. You can even add any remaining solution to your next load of laundry. Waste not, want not!

In the past week, I’ve used OxiClean Stain to tackle stains on our outdoor furniture cushions, remove set-in stains from my girls’ clothing, and even get rid of a stubborn yellow stain on a delicate white sweater. I must say, I am impressed with how well it works and how versatile it is. OxiClean Stain has become my go-to stain remover.

Extend the Life of Your Sofa

I hope this post on how to clean your couch has been helpful. With Oxi Clean, you can extend the life of your sofa a little bit longer. Just because we may be in a season of our lives where we can’t have our dream couches doesn’t mean we have to live with all those stains. Say goodbye to couch stains and hello to a fresh-looking living space!
