8 Best Couch Cleaners for Microfiber


8 Best Couch Cleaners for Microfiber

Best Overall

ForceField Fabric Cleaning Solution

Product Details:

  • Form: Spray Bottle
  • Volume: 22 fl oz.

The ForceField does more than just clean your microfiber couch – it repels dirt so that it prevents future stains!

ForceField is the most popular choice for cleaning microfiber (and other water-safe materials). This is largely because of its ability to zap away dirt and keep the fabric stain-free. Thanks to its fantastic formulation, it can work to deep clean large areas leaving your couch looking as good as new.

But the reason we love ForceField is that it helps to futureproof your sofa. More than just cleaning your couch, ForceField leaves a protective layer behind. This allows the sofa to repel dust, dirt, and liquid, keeping it in tip-top condition.

ForceField is not just limited to cleaning microfiber, though, as it can also work its magic on other fabric types. You can use it on rugs, upholstery, carpet, and clothing too. And since it comes in a spray bottle, you don’t have to worry about causing a mess.


Best Green Choice

Dr. Beasley’s I14D12 Microsuede Cleaner

Product Details:

  • Form: Spray
  • Volume: 4 fl oz.

Do your part for the environment – and your dirty couch – by using Dr. Beasley’s biodegradable cleaning solution.

If you’re conscious about the cleaners you use for your microfiber couch, then Dr. Beasley’s Microsuede product is perfect for you. It is specially made for expensive microsuede (microfiber) products, which include soft Ultrasuede and Dinamica.

Even better, Dr. Beasley’s solution is safe and biodegradable, which means you won’t harm the environment while using it. It works by lifting out the dirt, oil, sweat, or food embedded in your couch – and breaking them down. More importantly, this solvent doesn’t leave the surface discolored or hardened.

The caveat, though, is that it comes in quite a small container (4 oz.) compared to the ForceField cleaner (22 oz.) This makes it ideal for taking care of spot stains, but maybe not for a deep clean of your entire couch.


Best Detergent Option

Chemical Guys Microfiber Wash Cleaning Detergent Concentrate

Product Details:

  • Form: Powder
  • Volume: 16 fl oz.

With its hospital-grade formula, Chemical Guys can help keep your microfiber furniture clean from grime and your loved ones safe at the same time.

Chemical Guys is unlike any other formula as it helps eradicate oils that are typically hard to remove. For one, it can completely clean polish, wax, and other compounds that can affect the performance of microfiber. It’s safe for use by hand, as well as in the washing machine for a completely hassle-free clean.


Best Foaming Option

Fuller Brush Upholstery Cleaners

Product Details:

  • Form: Spray Bottle
  • Volume: 14 fl oz.

Scrub your couches to spotlessness with the Fuller cleaner – no rinsing required!

Cleaning microfiber can be a hassle, especially when your cleaning product leaves some gunk or unsightly residue behind. Thankfully, this can be avoided entirely by using the Fuller cleaner. With its foamy formulation, it doesn’t leave a sticky residue that often comes with other liquid solutions.

This product is also straightforward to use. Simply apply the product directly to the stain and leave it on for 30 seconds, after which you can blot it dry with a cloth. For heavier stains, make sure to use a stain brush and a bit of elbow grease to leave your couch looking as good as new.

Buying Guide


What can you use to clean a microfiber couch?

Vacuum clean couch

Using a vacuum, you can perform regular dry cleaning with a specially designed upholstery attachment. This should remove dust, crumbs, pet hairs, and other materials that are on the surface.

When a small spot appears, it’s wise to reach for a damp cloth (preferably microfiber) right away. Another option is to use disposable wipes, like those from Tub O’ Towels. It’s important to treat the area immediately while the dirt is still on the surface. Once it seeps deeper into the material, it’s more difficult to remove.

Before cleaning, make sure to check the sofa labels to see which products are safe to use. If your couch has a ‘W’ tag, you can clean it with cold water. If the covers are unremovable, you can treat them with the ForceField cleaning solution or any other water-based solvent. To remove stains, gently rub the soft-bristled brush on the area in a circular motion.

For ‘S’ or ‘S-W’ couches, use rubbing alcohol such as the Belle Chemical couch cleanser. Spray it on and blot the area with a sponge or a soft white cloth. Dry the area before polishing it with a bristled brush.
