How to Get Gatorade Out of a Couch

Fabric Couch

• 1

  Combine 1 ounce of spot cleaner and 1 quart of lukewarm water, and mix them thoroughly.

• 2

  Dip a white cloth into the solution. Test it by dabbing a small spot in an inconspicuous area of the couch. If the fabric appears discolored or damaged in any way, stop and consult a cleaning professional.

• 3

  Dab the stain with the cloth dipped in the cleaner, starting at the outside edges of the stain and working in.

• 4

  Rinse the fabric by dabbing it with a cloth dipped in clean water.

• 5

  Repeat as needed until the stain is removed. Then, let the area air-dry.

Leather Couch

• 6

  Dip a damp white cloth into liquid leather soap. Test it by dabbing a small spot in an inconspicuous area of the couch. If the leather appears discolored or damaged in any way, stop and consult a cleaning professional.

• 7

  Inspect the leather to see which direction it runs. This is called the lie. Gently rub the stain in the same direction as the lie until it is removed.

• 8

  Wipe the area with a damp cloth to remove the soap residue. Then, let the area air-dry.
