Tips for keeping your white couch clean from D.C.'s "Sofa That Can't Be Stained"

Also, we'd love to know their cleaning secrets for holiday hosting.

Threat level: High for damage. Not only is Lyle's a morning-to-night hotel restaurant, they throw bottomless DJ and drag brunches where Miss Leggs Benedict prances on the pristine cushions (guests are discouraged from doing the same, though conga lines occasionally snake in).

• Lyle's London-based designer added the couch for a "bright, residential feel" nearly four years ago, but boots on the ground were skeptical.
• "A big white couch in a restaurant — we questioned it," general manager Dan Pimentel tells Axios. The sofa's savior: "an aggressive cleaning regimen."

Zoom in: The couch is meticulously spot-cleaned three times a week, and has removable, Scotchgard-ed covers for washing in-house. Plus, servers are armed with Tide pens and club soda for spills.

• Estimated upkeep: $800 a month.

Pro tip: "If you have a light couch, make sure you can take the covers off [to wash]," says Pimentel. Also, act quickly and dab club soda on there. "A couch's worst enemy is time."
