Vacuum the upholstered furniture
The first method of cleaning upholstery is to vacuum it that too often. Dirt that accumulates on the fabric does not only affects the appearance of your furniture, it also wears away the upholstery fibre. You can use a stiff bristle brush that will make the dirt and debris loosen which will help you in deep cleaning.
Use water and soap
Water and soap are highly effective for upholstery cleaning. This is an old house cleaning method in Canberra. You can take a small amount of soap and mix it with water. Then apply the mixture gently on the upholstery and you can use baby wipes for wiping the dirt away. Baby wipes are highly effective in materials like leather, polyester, and cotton.
A lot of moisture is not the best method

Clean throw blankets and cushions
