I bought brand new microfiber couches from a higher end store right at the end of 2013. I then decided to have another child and after that add a puppy to the mix. So two kids and two and a half years later my couches look like they are ten years old. The shihtzu is a rescue dog who smelled Awful when we first got him so my couches reak. I just did my entire loveseat and it looks like it did the day it was delivered. Also it's oddly satisfying to see all of that dirt come up through the suction hose. I can't wait to do my large sofa (I'm a neat freak and this is my excitement what can I say?) I would highly recommend, I bought the booster cleaber as well.
