Cleaning a sofa is not only used 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 sofa upholstery can pose a threat, especially to allergy sufferers. In addition, cleaning the sofa eliminates odors that enter the furniture, such as those coming from the kitchen.
Ingredients to clean the sofa
- A bowl
- 600ml hot water
- 1 tablespoon dishwashing liquid
- 1 tablespoon baking soda

If you accidentally soiled your couch, spray the stain with glass cleaner and wipe it off with a damp cloth. Dirt will be gone in no time!
If you have spilled a liquid on your sofa or armchair, it will be important to clean it up immediately, to prevent it from drying out and leaving traces. A very effective trick is to use absorbent paper towels to remove the liquid that has fallen on the fabric.
If it is not water, we recommend using a mixture of lukewarm 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.
