The sofa in a house is one of the fundamental decoration elements. We spend a lot of time there, as a family, watching TV or playing board games, or even relaxing. Therefore, it is not surprising that it gets dirty very quickly. For this reason, it is recommended to clean the sofa regularly.

Here is a tip that will allow you to clean your sofa without damaging it and without damaging the color.

How to clean a sofa at home?

Cleaning a sofa not only serves to take care of the aesthetics of our interior. This gesture is of greater importance, because it eliminates all potentially dangerous contaminants. Dust and small particles left on the sofa upholstery can pose a threat, especially to allergy sufferers. In addition, cleaning the sofa eliminates odors that enter the furniture, such as those that come from the kitchen.

Ingredients to clean the sofa

• A bowl
• 600 ml hot water
• 1 tablespoon dishwashing liquid
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• Half a glass of alcohol
• 2 tablespoons of glass cleaner (optional)
• A frying pan or saucepan lid

How to clean the sofa

• First, pour water into the container. Then add  dish soap.
• Mix well so that the liquid dissolves and forms a little foam.
• Then add the baking soda and stir again to dissolve.
• Pour the alcohol into the mixture, then mix everything well.
• Add the glass cleaner (which will improve the cleaning effect), but you can also skip this step. Your homemade detergent will do its job well on its own.
• Put a cloth in the prepared product, soak it well and wring it out (it should not be wet).
• Then put it on the couch.
• Then place the cover in the middle of the fabric.
• Lift the corners of the material and press.
• Clean the sofa in circular motions and you will immediately see the difference!

How to remove stains from the sofa?

If you accidentally dirty your   couch  , spray the stain with glass cleaner and wipe it with a damp cloth. The dirt will be gone in no time!

If you have spilled any liquid on your sofa or armchair, it will be important that you clean it immediately to prevent it from drying out and leaving traces. A very effective trick is to use absorbent paper towels to remove any liquid that has fallen on the fabric.

If not water, we recommend using a mixture of warm water and   Marseille soap   to avoid stains. Use an old toothbrush to apply this cleanser to the area in question. To dry, use a hair dryer, keeping it away from the sofa.

Knowing all these tricks will help you keep your sofa clean and looking good for longer.
