Cleaning fabric sofas

My sofa is six years old and it smells Sad

I can take the cushion covers off the cushions on the back, but not off the actual seat part, IYSWIM?

I have also been letting the dog on the sofa for the last four years, and we have a cat.

How do I clean it? I do vacuum it but it doesn't seem enough...

We got a carpet cleaning company in to do ours. Our 10yo sofa looks like new-was amazing

Oh do you know what that's a good idea! We've hired a carpet cleaner from Morrisons before now but it never occurred to me to do the sofa with it.

I've decided that there will be a couple of designated dog blankets for the sofa that I rotate and wash but there's no point until the sofa doesn't stink smell a tad Grin

I work in Clarks shoe shop and I highly recommend our foam shoe cleaner to clean fabric sofa! I used it on my microfiber sofa because I figured nothing could make it look worse and omg it cleaned it right up!

What you do is spray a small amount of foam on the area and rub it in circular motions using a dry cloth. A large can is £4
