How to Get Vinegar Out of a Couch

Even though white vinegar is a common ingredient in many natural cleaning recipes, other types of vinegar can leave discolorations and stains on the fibers of the couch. In addition, the naturally acidic nature of vinegar can damage fabric if left to sit for an extended period of time. When dealing with spilled vinegar, removing it in a timely fashion is key. The longer you allow the vinegar to sit on the couch, the more likely a permanent stain will occur.
