How to Get Milk Off a Couch

Keeping your upholstery clean involves spot cleaning it often to make sure stains don't settle into it. Stains such as those from spilled milk can settle into your couch if you don't clean them up right away. These stains can eventually begin to smell putrid and rotten. Avoid milk stains by not drinking milk on your couch and by giving your children drip-free sippy cups and baby bottles.
