Once the baking soda has fully absorbed the stain that has been there popping from your couch and then simply suck it all out with the help of a vacuum cleaner or with a brush attachment. And as with all types of cleaning solutions, always spot treat a test portion of the sofa before cleaning it thoroughly as like we have already talked that not every kind of fabric will be suitable or absorb it safely without leaving any reaction.
