In my experience, some micro fibers clean up great, others don’t. Like everything, just depends on the soil level and the color. I have had to use a lot of solution on some micro fibers to get them clean. Agree that you sometimes have to use a little elbow grease, especially on the crusty food spots. Also, you may want to use a pre-spray if the furniture is heavily soiled. Make sure to brush them when you’re finished. Sometimes you may have to brush against the grain, and then back with it to get the pile looking good.
