A Guide on How To Clean A Sofa

Sofa cleaning in Chiswick can be a difficult task at the best of times. Seeing as the sofa is one of the major focal points of your living room, it tends to get used a lot, with people lying down, resting their feet and even sleeping on the sofa, your sofa is bound to gather a lot of dirt. It is therefore essential that your sofa gets cleaned regularly, which will prevent the build up of dirt and lessen the work load for you in the long term. So if you’re having trouble cleaning your sofa, take a read through our hints and tips and give some of our ideas a try, because after all what do you have to lose? You might end up getting the results that you desperately wanted.

•    Make sure you know the type of material that your sofa is made out of. Different materials and fabrics need different types of attention when it comes to getting them cleaned; upholstery cleaning is different from cleaning leather for example, and so you will need to buy the appropriate equipment and high street cleaners to ensure you get the finish you want and that your sofa doesn’t get ruined. If your sofa has removable covers, this will of course make your job a whole lot easier; simply remove the covers and put them in the washing machine using a good quality detergent; however remember to check the label first to make sure that the covers are washing machine proof. If not, then gently dabbing and wiping the covers with warm soapy water will work just as well.

•    Before you attempt to use any sprays and creams on your sofa, it’s a good idea to give it a quick vacuum. Nowadays the majority of hoovers come equipped with a variety of attachments, and when cleaning your sofa in the W4 area, the best one to use would be a small attachment. This will enable you to easily manoeuvre the nozzle around your sofa, getting into all the nooks and crannies which seem to attract and accumulate the most dirt. Ensure the attachment that you use has soft brushes so that you don’t risk damaging any delicate upholstery material. Remove the sofa seats first and clean underneath to make sure that you get the best results.

•    If you have any stains on your sofa, read the label and check out what material your sofa is made out of, and then purchase a spray, spot cleaner or stein removal cream accordingly. Most creams out there if used correctly will do the job and are relatively inexpensive to purchase in Chiswick, W4. Direction of use will be on the label, so read this carefully before you proceed. Use a microfiber cloth or a soft towel in order to apply your stain remover. Firstly, dab gently at the area with some warm soapy water. Be careful just to dab and not to rub the stain in further, as this will cause the stain to spread and may cause some wear and tear or discolouration of your sofas upholstery fabric.  If the spot or stain is very small and not obviously noticeable, a light dab of vinegar on the affected area may work just as well as other cleaning products, however it is recommended that you invest in some cleaning products, as you never know when you may need some handy in the future!
