To clean sofa fabric effectively, follow these summarized steps:
- Vacuum the sofa thoroughly to remove dust and debris, including under cushions if removable.
- Test a cleaning solution on a hidden spot for colorfastness. A mix of warm water and mild detergent or fabric cleaner is commonly used.
- For stains, gently dab with a cloth soaked in the cleaning solution; avoid scrubbing to prevent damage.
- Sprinkle baking soda on the sofa to absorb odors, let it sit for a few hours, then vacuum it off.
- Use a steamer for deep cleaning and disinfecting the fabric without chemicals.
- For natural cleaning, use a mixture of washing-up liquid, white vinegar, baking soda, and warm water applied directly to stains, then wipe off after drying.
- Avoid heat drying; air dry the sofa to prevent damage.
These methods suit various fabric types and help maintain cleanliness and freshness without harming the material.
