How to Get Hot Wing Sauce out of Couch Fabric

Buffalo wings are a staple food at many sports-related viewing parties and events, and sometimes enthusiasm for a great play or annoyance at a bad pass can lead to hot wing sauce on upholstery. As with all stains, the faster you remove the sauce stain, the better your chances of making your couch look like new again. Use household items to remove the stain, and make sure there are plenty of napkins available wherever wings are eaten in your home.

Instructions

    • 1

      Blot excess hot sauce from the couch with clean paper towels or a clean rag. Apply the towels or rag gently to the stain so as not to further spread it over the upholstery.

      Make a cleaning solution of 1 tablespoon of liquid dish detergent in 2 cups of cool water in a bowl. Sponge the stain with either a clean rag or sponge to clean the couch. Repeat as needed until you've completely removed the stain from the couch.

      Rinse a clean white cloth with cold water and remove the soap solution from the couch. Blot the affected area dry with a clean, dry cloth. Set the cushion on its side on a clean towel to help it dry in a timely fashion, or set it in a lawn chair and allow it to dry in the sun.
