How to Clean My Suede Cotton Polyester Couch

Caring for and cleaning a couch made from various fabrics -- such as a suede cotton polyester couch -- can be a bit difficult. Improper cleaning can cause more harm than good. Before you attempt to remove spots and stains, check the instruction label for either an S or W on the tag. An S indicates dry-cleaning solvent for cleaning, while a W means a soap mixture of 1 tsp. liquid dish soap combined with 2 cups of water. However, if the tag has both an S and W, you can use either cleaning solution to remove stains from the suede cotton polyester couch.
