The best sofa cleaning hacks for you. Read and remember!
The sofa is a part of our furniture that we use constantly. We usually sit on it while watching
TV, our kids prefer to play here and our pets choose this comfortable place for sleeping. But
even such an intensive use won’t cause stains on the upholstery if you follow several simple
rules.
Firstly, you can do yourself a big favour if before buying sofa you make sure that sofa you want
to buy, has easily cleanable upholstery.
To avoid the upholstery getting dirty, you should use cover. Do not eat while sitting on the sofa
and do not allow the family to do it. Food particles that happen to fall onto the sofa surface
will cause stubborn stains that will be more difficult to remove. You should take care of the
fabric not occasionally but, but regularly. It does not take many efforts and the sofa will stay in
a good condition for a long period of time.
If you choose a sofa with fluffy upholstery (such as velour), which is pleasant to the touch and
has a nice look, you should remember that it will collect dust like toys do. For this reason it is
important to clean the sofa regularly. At least every 6 months sofa should be cleaned. And you
can do it in various ways:
Cleaning sofa with vacuum cleaner. If you use a hover to clean the sofa, choose a special
nozzle. Thoroughly clean all the surfaces and corners of the sofa, try to get into hard-to-reach
areas A standard nozzle would not be effective. If you don't have a brush head, simply run your
open hose around the area, keeping the hover at maximum suction power.
Old-fashioned carpet beater. For this purpose you need to soak a clean cloth in water and
squeeze it well. After that, cover the sofa's cushions with this rag. Then take a carpet beater
and beat the dust from the seat and back of the sofa and its cushions. All the dust on the
upholstery will be absorbed by the wet cloth, which should be washed afterwards. The only
negative aspect of this method is that while the sofa is drying, you should not cover it with a
bedspread and sit on it.
You can also achieve a great result using a steam generator. The hot steam will not only
effectively clean the dirt, but will also kill various germs which are deep inside the fabric.
But the best advice for those who decide to clean sofa or any other soft furniture is to hire the
professional service. Specialists will come to your place at a set time and do all the work
properly, quickly and safe for your health.
