BOYA DIY Upholstery Stain Removal: Kitchen Solutions for Hotel Housekeeping & Residential Use

Before reaching for chemical cleaners, try these kitchen-ingredient stain removers. They work on most common upholstery stains and won’t damage the fabric.

White vinegar (1:1 with water): Effective on coffee, tea, wine, and fruit juice stains. Blot — don’t pour. Let sit 5 minutes, blot again, then blot with water to remove vinegar residue.

Baking soda paste (3:1 baking soda to water): For grease and oil stains. Apply paste, let dry completely (4-6 hours), vacuum. The baking soda absorbs the oil.

Dish soap solution (few drops of clear dish soap in 2 cups warm water): General-purpose cleaner for most stains. Works on dirt, food, and body oils. Blot, don’t rub.

Rubbing alcohol (70%+): For ink, marker, and dye transfer stains. Dab with a cotton ball. Do not oversaturate. Test on hidden area first — alcohol can affect some dyes.

Hydrogen peroxide (3%, test first): For blood, wine, and organic stains. Apply, let bubble, blot. Do NOT mix with vinegar (creates toxic gas).

Golden rule: Always blot. Never rub. Rubbing spreads the stain and pushes it deeper into the fibers. Blotting lifts it out.
