Using a steaming machine to remove stains from your couch is a great idea, but for the best results, follow these steps: 

1. Vacuum First 

Before steaming, vacuum your couch to remove dust, crumbs, and pet hair. This prevents dirt from spreading when steaming. 

2. Pre-Treat Stains (Optional but Recommended) 

If you have tough stains (like food, coffee, or ink), pre-treat them with a mild cleaner: 

● Water-Based Stains: Mix warm water + a few drops of dish soap and blot with a cloth. 

● Oil-Based Stains: Sprinkle baking soda, let it sit for 15 minutes, then vacuum. 

● Ink or Wine: Dab rubbing alcohol gently with a cloth. 

3. Use the Steam Cleaner Properly 

● Fill the water tank with distilled water (avoids mineral buildup). 

● If your steamer allows, add a bit of upholstery cleaner. 

● Use the upholstery attachment and start steaming in small sections. 

● Move the steamer slowly so it lifts dirt and stains effectively. 

4. Dry the Couch 

● Do not soak the fabric—lightly steam it and blot excess moisture with a towel. 

● Open windows or use a fan to speed up drying. 

5. (Optional) Deodorize & Refresh 

● Sprinkle baking soda after steaming, let it sit for 20 minutes, then vacuum for extra freshness.
