How to Clean a Velvet Sofa
- 1). Attach the soft-bristled brush attachment to the vacuum.
- 2). Turn the vacuum on and run the soft brush over the velvet couch. Run the brush against the nap so that the pile of the fabric is raised up. This ensures you get any dirt that may hide under the nap.
- 3). Remove the cushions, if you have removable cushions, and clean the underside. Reverse the cushions when you replace them. Reverse the cushions every time you vacuum the sofa.
- 4). Dab a dime-sized amount of dish detergent on one end of a wet, clean cloth.
- 5). Rub any stains on the velvet sofa with the detergent. Go against the nap to get any stains under the fabric pile.
- 6). Rinse the soap with a clean, wet rag. Make sure all soap residue is gone.
- 7). Dry the wet area with a clean, dry rag. Dry with the nap up so the fabric pile can dry.
