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
