How to Keep My Black Futon Stain Free

Even though futons give you both a couch and a bed all in one, they can quickly become dirty and filled with stains. These stains will turn your black futon into an eyesore and cause the whole room to appear dingy. To keep the black futon clean and stain free, take a few precautions to prolong the life of the furniture and keep it looking its best.

Cloths
Sticky lint brush
Futon cover
Upholstery brush
Vacuum
Mild detergent
Soft-bristled scrub brush

Instructions

- 1
  Refrain from eating or drinking while sitting on the futon. Food and liquids can create permanent stains on the futon.
- 2
  Wipe spills off the futon with a damp cloth as soon as they happen. Letting the spill sit on the futon will increase the chance of stains.
- 3
  Keep pets off the furniture. Pets leave fur, odors and dirt on the couch fabric. Use a sticky lint brush to remove fur from the black fabric.
- 4
  Place a cover on the futon. Futon covers protect the sofa from stains and dirt, and are machine washable.
- 5
  Attach the upholstery brush to the end of a vacuum cleaner hose. Run the brush regularly over the black futon to remove dirt, hair and crumbles.
- 6
  Clean spots and stains off the futon with a mild detergent and water solution. Scrub the stains and spots off the surface with a soft-bristled scrub brush dampened in the soapy mixture.
