How do I clean my super dirty swade fabric sofas?

Posted under sofas

I have two bage color swade fabric sofas and they are very dirty. They have stains from like everything. I would just get rid of them but my hubb dosent want to because they are so comfortable and they were really expensive and he feel bad to get rid of em. How can i clean them to make them look somewhat nice again.

Cornmeal.I have owned suede coats for years and the sleeves always get gunky. Go to the grocery store and buy a box of the cheapest cornmeal you can find, yellow or white, doesn't matter. Spread a towel under the part of the sofa you will be working on to keep the cornmeal from going everywhere and pour a handful of cornmeal on the sofa. Grind and scrub it into the suede with your hands or a DRY sponge, brushing it to one side to check your progress. Add more as needed until you finish the entire sofa. The cornmeal will bring up the nap, absorb grease and scrub dirt out of the nap. Once you have it clean vacuum with an apolstery brush to remove any cornmeal residue. It sounds weird but it works!
