Getting rid of odors:
The fabrics used to make this important living room furniture can easily pick pet and body odors if left unattended to for a long time. One of the best ways of freshening it up is sprinkling baking soda on the fabric. Leave it there to soak into the material for approximately 10 minutes before brushing or vacuuming it off. For this to work, the sofa has to be completely dry.
Removing Stains:
There are many sofa cleaners that you can use to get rid of both simple and redundant stains. Again, refer to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer so as to choose a cleaner that is friendly to the material. Do a spot test before applying the cleaner on entire fabric just to be sure that it will not discolor the fabric.
Removing Molds:
High moisture is one of the leading causes of molds. Luckily, it is possible to get rid of the molds no matter the severity if it’s only on the fabric. The first step entails drying the sofa in open air or using a hair dryer. Then, use a vacuum cleaner to suck up all the spores. Finally, empty the vacuum canister outside your house to avoid contamination. Use detergent suds sparingly so that you don’t end up wetting the entire sofa.
Cleaning vinyl and leather sofas:
It is not recommendable to use conventional cleaning reagents. There are cleaners which are specifically formulated for cleaning sofas made from vinyl and leather fabrics. Use them and remember to vacuum the sofa cushions to get rid of debris and dust that may have accumulated on the sponge overtime.
Keep your sofas sparkling clean by implementing these proven, wise suggestions.
