Get moving quicker than a wink first. Water damage is not a gentleman. It won’t sit tight and wait for you to make a decision. Remove any moisture from the upholstery immediately. To make a statement about who’s boss in the water, gather a plethora of towels and pile them atop the wet spots. A wet-dry vacuum might be useful for sloshing out any excess moisture.
After that, if you want to develop your inner detective, look for any hidden mold. The dark, damp spot in the corner of your sofa is the perfect breeding ground for mold. Put on your gloves like you’re heading into combat and quickly eradicate the unpleasant mold with a mixture of vinegar and water. Vinegar is a trustworthy ally because it eliminates mold without harming fabric.
So that we don’t step into a musty old basement smelling room, odor control is up next. Use a little baking soda to mist the cloth. After a few hours, it will magically absorb any lingering odors. Your room will regain its pleasant aroma as soon as you vacuum it up.
Lastly, a small dab of dish soap and water should do the trick for those annoying water stains that are playing hide-and-seek on the cloth. The tried-and-true method of avoiding rings is to work from the outside in. But handle it with care. You should strive for finesse.
