Can a carpet cleaner be used to clean a sofa?
Yes, a carpet cleaner can be used to clean a sofa if the upholstery care label permits water-based cleaning.
Most carpet cleaners have upholstery attachments made for use on furniture, allowing gentle and effective cleaning of sofas.
It is important to check the sofa’s care label, as some fabrics may only tolerate dry cleaning or vacuuming and could be damaged by water or cleaning solutions.
Testing on a small, hidden area first is recommended to ensure the cleaner does not cause discolouration or harm to the material.
