Microfiber Is Coming Off?

Microfiber coating is coming off back of couch where head rests. Called manufacturer and will do nothing about it although has only been used about 2 years although purchased 5 years ago. All repairs I see are for tears. Not the case here. When tried to gently clean with plain water, more came off. Unable to upload pictures. Suggestions?

I sincerely doubt that any company would do anything about a 5-year-old couch, but did you ask about how to clean this and stop the erosion of your couch?
I have never heard of 'Microfiber coating coming off' of anything, but from your description, it apparently can happen.
I would tend to think this is happening due to oils from hair as well as the constant rubbing against the same spots.

Perhaps some gentle rubbing of alcohol with a soft brush or sponge or washcloth would help.
"Fill a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol and spray it directly on the stains and armrests, which can get particularly dirty. Blot and rub the spots with a white cloth until the stains are gone."

Here are some links that may be of help, although there is no mention of microfiber being removed.
Read several to see if this is something you wish to try.

It's probably time to go & buy a new sofa b/c it sounds like the microfiber is starting to deteriorate.
