How do I clean mold and mildew off of my microfiber couch?

Apply the suds to the couch, focusing on the moldy areas. Alternatively, you can use equal parts rubbing alcohol or white vinegar and water. You can also use 1 qt. of warm water and 2 tbsp. of ammonia. Rub the upholstery with the sponge to remove any mold, rinsing and wringing the sponge as you go

I've got to ask how did you couch get mold and mildew on it in the first place? Was it in storage?

Hi Karen, this hopefully helps you

To remove a large quantity of mold from upholstery, mix mild soap or detergent and water until it's full of suds then wipe only the suds onto the upholstery and rub thoroughly into the fabric. Follow by wiping the area with a clean, damp cloth to remove the soap.

I would use a steam cleaner.

My husband always rents one of those carpet cleaners from the store (Walmart, grocery store) for the day and then he gets Spot Gone and some other cleaner and cleans the entire couch. You could get a soft comb brush, too for the moldy spots. It makes our couch like new!

Thanks everyone

Hi Karen: Air circulation is your best bet. And, you need to know the difference between mold and mildew. What's the Difference? Mold vs. Mildew (bobvila.com)

Here are some sites that should help with the cleaning though:

I hope these help.

Along with a dehumidifier, you can use the product called Damp rid, it comes on a tub form where you add the crystals and it draws in the humidity, leaving a wet collection in the bottom, dump that out. It also comes in a self contained bag-which is what we use.

For the mold and mildew, depending on how bad it is, it may have infiltrated into the body of the couch and spores are in it too deeply to treat.

Fresh air and sunshine are best.

Use a dehumidifier,
