Your sofa is one of the most-used pieces of furniture in your home. Whether it’s for lounging, entertaining guests, or napping, it endures a lot of wear and tear. Over time, however, dirt, stains, and pet hair can accumulate on the upholstery, making it look worn out. Thankfully, there are several methods to keep your couch looking brand new.
Start by identifying your fabric type. Different fabrics require different cleaning methods. For instance, microfiber couches are relatively easy to clean with a simple mixture of rubbing alcohol and water, while leather upholstery needs specific conditioners to maintain its luster.
Vacuuming is an essential step before any deep cleaning. Use a brush attachment to remove dust, dirt, and debris from the crevices. This will prevent dirt from embedding deeper into the fibers during the cleaning process. If your couch has removable cushion covers, make sure to unzip and wash them according to the care instructions.
For stains, act quickly. Blot (don’t rub) the stain with a clean cloth to absorb as much as possible. Then, apply an appropriate stain remover based on your fabric type. If you’re unsure, test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first to avoid any damage.
If your couch has stubborn smells, sprinkling baking soda over the upholstery and letting it sit for 15 minutes before vacuuming it up can help neutralize odors.
For those who prefer professional help, hiring an upholstery cleaning service will ensure that your couch gets a thorough clean without the risk of damaging delicate fabrics.
