How To Do DIY Sofa Cleaning At Home

Sofas are extremely popular for their comfort, but even the best quality couch requires cleaning to keep it intact and in good condition. Don’t let a dirty sofa ruin your quality time with your guests! Every now and then, you can hire professional sofa cleaning services to touch up your couch. For now, the DW Cleaning Group gives you this step-by-step guide on cleaning your own couch so it can still be fresh anytime. 

Check The Sofa Care Label

Sofas typically come with care labels. It would be a good way to start cleaning a couch by reading and just following its own cleaning instructions.

Test The Sofa Cleaning Product First

There is a wide variety of sofa cleaning products and solutions that can be applied straight to the couch. This includes water-based cleansers, cloth shampoos, and disinfectant sprays, among others. Some professional sofa cleaning services use these products as well. 

Make sure to check if the product works on your couch by testing it first in a small area. This will help prevent any damage or discoloration that the cleaning solution may cause to your sofa.  

Start By Vacuuming The Sofa

The first step should be vacuuming the sofa before using any cleaning solutions. Not doing this may cause the dust and dirt particles to penetrate more into the couch when cleaning it. 

Spot And Remove Stains

The next important thing to do is to remove the stains and dirt spots. For this step, similar to mattress stain removal, you will be using the following products and materials: cleaning cloth or paper towel, water, and mild disinfectant.

First, dab the cloth or paper towel on the dirt marks. Then, use a small amount of water or mild disinfectant to fully clean the area. If your sofa has any solid or deep-set stains, you may use baking soda or white vinegar and let it sit for at least 20 minutes before brushing it to remove the grimes. 

If you wish to do sofa steam cleaning but do not have a steam cleaner, be careful not to get your fabric sofa wet. If you use too much water to clean your fabric sofa, it may shrink and be prone to more stains. Not to mention that it will be harder for you to dry it completely afterward.  

Deodorize The Sofa

No one likes a smelly couch. However, the frequent use of the sofa just makes the smell harder to get rid of. The odour comes from the bacteria that has accumulated from the dirt on your sofa. Luckily, couch cleaning can be as simple as using home-cleaning agents like baking soda and white vinegar.

For baking soda, sprinkle it and let it sit for an hour before vacuuming it. For vinegar, spray a mixture of one part white vinegar to three parts water (1:3) and wait for about 10 minutes. Then, you can put your preferred scent or essential oil to make your couch more fragrant.
