Microfiber Furniture Advice |

I am thinking about buying a camel colored Microfiber couch and love-seat. What about stains? We have 4 children. I heard it stains easily? We don't eat on our furniture. What about oils from our body/feet?

I find that baby wipes do the best at taking out most stains (and don't leave water marks.) Anyone ever had theirs professionally cleaned?

I just picked up my microfiber couch today. I didn't really do much research on the material before my purchase. I'm not so worried about the stains. But my two cats have their claws!!Has anyone had any issues with holes in the material from their pets?

Just bought complete set of microfiber furniture. Had it treated before delivery-question oil mark from someones shoes on the cushion (at least I think it is an oil stain), how and what product do I use to remove it. Also dog saliva (have a drooler dog) what do I do-not sure if the protection is working. Help!!! First time to buy furniture in 25 years and this is a fabric that I have never had.

I have had my sofa and love seat for 2 yrs. and I have them! My husband has left such body oil stains. I have gently tried cleaning minor stains which left huge water stains, I am terrified to try cleaning his big dirt deposits. HELP! My dog also lays on the sofa with him and he leaves spots when he licks his paws.

I hate my microfiber couch. Oily stains do NOT come out and stains that do, leave water marks. I also dislike the fact that I cannot vacuum it. Waiting for my daughter to move out so I can give it to her and go get something else.

Do not buy micorfiber furniture if you have a baby that is teething. Water stains make the sofa appear nasty and it's horrible to try and keep clean.

To the person who said their microfiber smelled like a wet animal: I didn't have this problem and wash it in the washer and dry it and have not problem. However, to your point, my male cat absolutely hated the material and started "marking" it regularly until I just had to remove the cover and put it away. I figured it must have smelled like some sort of animal to him.

I heard that taking a soft toothbrush and brushing the fabric makes the fabric soft again. I haven't had any problems with my microfiber except for the static! Dryer sheets worked great to fix that problem though! When I purchased my furniture I got the Scotch Guard (Guardian Fabric Protection) on it and it has a 10 year warranty. Only like 75 bucks for the spray. And I have a microfiber sectional and a chair and a half that is also microfiber. It covers food and beverage stains, mold or mildew stains caused by food or beverages, and also human or pet bodily fluids. If I get a stain that I can't handle, they come out and clean it professionally. And if its unable to be cleaned, they will replace the fabric. It was worth it!

So a few days ago my two year old son Connor poured his soy milk all over my love seat. I got on this web site and took someones advice and used normal everyday soap and water, back to normal. My living room is still clean and fresh and so is my furniture.

i have a very light cream sofa and i find that alcohol 96 gets most stains out all you need to do is pat it on with a peach of cotton wool test it in a small area first to see if the color fades.

I would NEVER in a million years own another microfiber anything! The saleman told me that it was great with kids because it should clean well and the stains don't soak in to the fabric. That was not the case my son has had some accidents on the couch and I can not get that pee smell out and my other son slobers which is everywhere!!!

It's horrible I have one child and and it's a pain to kept clean. You can get food and stains out but it's leaves very noticable water marks. I have a camel colored loveseat and I wish I never got the microfiber material. The guy at the store said it was great for kids in the house and it easy to clean and durable. My advice... don't buy it!

I have a red microfiber couch now for 1 yr. I kept it covered with a red flat sheet for the first 6 months which kept it flawless of course but it was ugly to look at. I have since kept it uncovered. My cat has peed on it a few times. I just unzip the cushion cover and threw it in the wash. It hasn't faded yet. The cotton absorbs some of the pee with you need to cut out. I haven't had any major spills on it besides cat pee. It doesn't smell at all and still looks like new as long as I keep washing the seat cushion covers.

I have a maroon microfiber recliner that is about 3 years old. The professionals wont touch it, but I would like to clean it myself. Does anyone have a soap or cleaner that I should use? If someone has cleaned their furniture I would appreciate knowing what and how to use it. Thank you.

if you have kids don't buy this furniture. Just body oil alone leaves stains. It looks really dark and dingy. Not worth it. If your husbands head sweats it will leave oil from your scalp on the top of the back from resting your head. I do not recommend.

I have had a red, microfiber club chair in my family room as an accent piece for about 2 years now. Now we don't have small children so stains haven't been a major problem, but any stains from accidental spills and splashes have wiped right up with a clean cloth and a little soap and water. I do have cats and a wipe with a wet paper towel picks up the cat hair easy. I love this piece and to me, it's been so easy to care for. Personally, I love the microfiber!

I have had a red microfiber set for two years now and love it! I have a dog and a cat who get on it constantly and, occasionly, have an accident on it. It is a breeze to clean up with regular upholstery cleaner. I would recommend microfiber furniture to anybody.

What does your furniture sales guy say about stains? I've had a camel colored microfiber for 5 years now and I love it. I got it because I have two cockerspaniels who are allowed on the furniture - as they are really inside dogs. There's never been anything that didn't wipe right off. Once in a while I'll take the cushions off the seat part and toss them in the wash. I think I've done that maybe 3 times total. I recommend them.
