Inch Microfiber

What do i use to clean my NEW microfiber couch? How do I stop it from being so staticky?

It's like that soft kind of felt fiber, dark brown, and a KICK-AZZ couch, BUT it always feels like it has like crumbs on it or something? And when i brush it off, it doesn't really help. And there are NOT a bunch of crumbs on my couch, but that's what it feels like! Like dirt or something.

Separate issue- it is VERY staticky all the time. I run a dryer sheet over it and it stops but only for like a day. I mean you can FEEL that static energy field if you just hover your hand like an inch over it.

Because microfiber is durable and repels water, it it well suited to be used on furniture. However, furniture manufacturers and salesmen would like you to believe that they are unstainable and indesctructable. This is NOT true!

It is possible to completely ruin your new microfiber sofa if you don't take proper care of it.
Microfiber furniture will commonly come with a tag that has one of the special microfiber codes that tell you how to clean it. The tags will say, W, S, S-W, or X.

W means you can use water based cleaning solution.
S means you have to use a "solvent" based cleaner
S-W means you can use S or W type cleaners

First off, not all microfiber is the same. Different products need to be cleaned differently. However, one of the biggest problems with microfiber furniture is that for many products, you can NOT just use soap and water to clean the fabric. This causes potentially permanent water marks to form on the fabric. While microfiber is actually very good at repelling water for small spills, once water does soak in, you can have problems. Additionally, microfiber is very good at trapping oil, which makes it great for cleaning other things, but if you spill any kind of oil or fat onto microfiber, you will have problems.

Because microfiber is good at repelling water, water will bead up right after a spill. When this happens, you want to be careful to get as much of the spill up without having it soak into the fabric. Because of this, you want to dab with a cloth, not rub.

You need to use something that will dissolve oils (bring oil into solution) and evaporate quickly. Regular soap is good at binding to oils, but if you mix it with water, it does not evaporate quickly.

The solution is to find one of many good Microfiber Cleaning Products that are designed for dry cleaning and/or removing grease or oil. Use a product like this in small amounts, getting part of the stain out each time, while letting the fabric dry after each application.

Another thing to remember, is that Microfiber is Polyester. This means that most things that can be used to clean polyester can be used to clean microfiber. Ammonia and Alcohol. Rubbing Alcohol or clear alcohol such as vodka can be used.

One problem with microfiber is that after cleaning, the fabric can become hard. A solution to this is to gently rub the hardened portion of fabric with a soft scrub brush or old toothbrush.

To remove smells from microfiber, you can try putting baking soda over the smelly area and having it soak up any remaining liquid or odor. Products like Febreze (Sometimes misspelled as Febreeze) can be used, but you have to be careful to only get a fine mist of the product on the furniture, or else you will have dried water marks.

The only tip that works, go to CVS, Target Walmart WHATEVER and Buy Static Guard and a humidifier. This works. I loaded my couches with static guard and turned my humifier on. First off the static guard not only helps with the static BUT it also helps "stain proof" your couches. This is the best advice i ever got . thank you.
OH PS I would not use the Fabric Softener and Water- it can and will put little spots on your couch. I would not recommend this.
