The sofa in a house is one of the fundamental furnishing elements. We spend a lot of time on it, as a family, watching TV or playing board games, or even relaxing. It is therefore not surprising that it gets dirty very quickly. For this reason, it is recommended to clean the sofa regularly.
Here is a tip that allows you to clean your sofa without damaging it and without affecting its color.
How to clean a sofa at home?
Cleaning a sofa is not just about taking care of the aesthetics of our interiors. 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. Furthermore, cleaning the sofa eliminates odors that enter the furniture, such as those coming from the kitchen.

- A bowl
- 600 ml of hot water
- 1 tablespoon dishwashing liquid

How to remove stains from sofa?
If you accidentally dirty your sofa , spray the stain with glass cleaner and wipe it with a damp cloth. The dirt will disappear in the blink of an eye!
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 warm water and Marseille soap to avoid stains. Use an old toothbrush to apply this cleaner to the area in question. To dry, use a hairdryer, keeping it away from the sofa.
Knowing all these tricks will help you keep your sofa clean and beautiful longer.
