Spruce up your current sofa set in Nairobi by our company or keep a new one looking fresh with our step-by-step advice on how to clean them. Make cleaning a fabric sofa a breeze with these simple steps.
- Vacuum away the dirt Grab your vac and, using the soft brush attachment, give your sofa a good once-over. Remove the cushions if you can and vacuum them on both sides.
- Make sure you spot-check Before you use any cleaning product, check the sofa’s care label to see what’s safe to use. Then test the cleaning product on a small, hidden spot to ensure that it won’t leave marks.
- Stain removal Mix a little warm water with a mild detergent or fabric cleaner, then dab the stain gently with a clean cloth. Resist the urge to scrub or you could damage the fabric.
- Show the whole sofa some love Once you’ve worked on the stains, grab a fabric upholstery cleaner, follow the instructions for dilution and apply it evenly. Then use a sofa brush or cloth to clean it off.
- Let it air dry Avoid using a heater or hairdryer to speed up the process as the sofa’s material could be sensitive to heat.
As well as needing an occasional cleaning, fabric sofas tend to bobble, so a bit of maintenance may be required to stop them from looking old before their time. A fabric shaver is the best option to take care of this task.
