Garlic butter leaves behind a greasy, difficult to conceal stain when dropped onto a fabric couch, especially if the fabric is solid colored. As with other types of stains, the chances of getting all of the garlic butter out are improved with quick treatment. It's also important not to liberally scrub the stain because this may work it deep into the fibers of the couch, making it nearly impossible to remove. Remember to always test all cleaning products on a hidden part of the fabric to make sure they don't cause discoloration, fading or damage.
Step 1
Rake over the garlic butter with a dull knife to remove solid material without grinding it into the fabric.
