I'm supposed to use a code S cleaner on my sofa (a solvent-based cleaner); however, I'm having a hard time finding one. Does anyone know the name/brand of one I can find at a place like Walmart or Target?
Ha, even if you find one, you will be limited to tiny spots if you do not have a machine to handle the volatile chemicals. What's even worse, is the chemistry is wrong to remove most stains -- food, body fluids, body and hair oil, and general soiling :-(. All is not lost, however, you can water clean about 80% of S-labeled fabrics with care. The exceptions that I know of are 100% cotton that bleeds color and anything with a lot of rayon, particularly rayon chenille. Silk would be another, but that's usually X. AFTA and Goof-Off are two that you can use on small spots and are readily available, though you might have to look at a hardware store,Bed, Bath Beyond, or Lowe's
If the fabric on your sofa calls for a solvent based cleaner, don't use any water on it ever. My favorite solvent cleaner is K2R Spotlifter. It comes in a blue and white spray can. Following the instructions on the can, spray the stains, wait for the cleaner to dry to a white powder and vacuum off. One application is usually enough. This product works well on clothing, wallpaper, and carpet too.
well this may sound crazy, but u can jusr use regular baking soda. If u mix baking soda with water, and rub it on your sofa, your sofa shold get preatty clean. It works well with dishes, the floor, furniture abnd lots more. But tey not to make the solution too watery.
