First, move faster than a wink. Not a gentleman is water damage. It does not patiently wait while you decide what to do. Starting right away, dry the upholstery. As if you were showing the water who’s boss, grab towels, lots of them, and press them onto the damp areas. To help you slosh the extra moisture, you might also use a wet-dry vacuum.
Then, search for any covert mold to help you to become an inner detective. Mold loves moist, dark areas like that dark corner of your couch. If you face the disagreeable sight of mold, don a pair of gloves like you’re going into battle, and remove it swiftly with a mix of water and vinegar. Your reliable friend is vinegar, which kills mold without damaging cloth.
Next on the agenda is odor control, lest we walk into a room that smells like a musty old basement. Spritz a wee bit of baking soda on the fabric. Let it sit for a few hours, absorbing any stubborn smells like magic. Vacuum it up, and your room will be sweet-smelling once again.
Finally, for those pesky water stains playing peek-a-boo on the fabric, try a gentle dab of dish soap mixed with water. Work from the outside in—it’s the gold standard trick to ward off rings. Be gentle, though. Finesse is your friend.
