Hii this is my first post. Ive always been a lurker. So if im not doing this right,I apologise. My son has severe autism and epilepsy. He has had a accident while having a seizure. I was wondering if you wonderful people could help and suggest a spot cleaner that you've used or have, that is pretty good. I did search them online but there are so many. I want one with good suction and that won't leave the sofa soaking wet. Thank you if you got this far. Xx

You can’t go wrong with distilled white vinegar. Soak a cloth in diluted vinegar and water and keep wiping. It should get rid of the stain and smell.

Make a paste of baking soda + white vinegar

Hii thankyou for the suggestion but our sofa is very deep piled and it soaked/seeped through so would need a machine. Ive got a rugdoctor thats very old but it isn't great for the hands as the hand tool isn't the best. X

I use this one. This week it’s helped remove blueberries and ketchup. I wipe the whole cushion over with water once cleaned to prevent any tide marks.

I have a Vax spot wash cleaner but it’s not as effective as the spray.

Thank you for this suggestion. X I went to currys today to see the spot cleaners and my God are they tiny for what they cost!! I'll stick to my old rugdoctor i think. Xx
