Clean sofa






💞 Whether you’re catching up over coffee, skipping through Netflix shows, or relaxing with family, sofas provide the perfect resting spot.


💞However, as careful as you might be, there’s no avoiding the stains, spillages and grime that build up with everyday use (or the bad smells and discolouration which come with it).


💞But don’t fill your shopping trolley with expensive fabric cleaning products just yet. To give your upholstery a new lease of life, all it takes is a few natural ingredients – many of which we can bet are already in your kitchen cupboard.


💞Take a look at the best natural ways to clean a fabric sofa, below.


Before you get started with any of the methods below, it is worth checking the individual cleaning codes of your sofa fabric (usually found on the underside of your sofa cushions).


💞Give it a brush

To make sure you’re giving your sofa a sufficient deep clean, the first thing you should do is remove any crumbs or dirt from both the surface and in-between the sofa cushions (you may want to wear gloves).


💞To do this, you’ll need a clean, dry cloth. With the cloth in hand, brush the upholstery, ensuring you reach into all the nooks and crannies. For stubborn areas, such as dried-on spots, you may need to use a stiff brush.


💞TOP TIP: If your fabric sofa is lightly coloured, you’ll need to use a white cloth. Otherwise, the dye from the cloth could soak into the fabric on your sofa and cause discolouration.


💞Shake off bad smells

By their nature, sofa fibres have a tendency to cling to smells from pets, spillages and – ahem – natural gases. Over time, this can develop into an unpleasant, lingering scent, which isn’t ideal when entertaining guests.


💞While you could mask the smell with an upholstery deodoriser, this only offers a temporary solution, and you could be back where you started just hours later. Instead, you should try an easy-to-make natural fabric cleaner to remove bad smells for good.


💞Here’s how to remove smells from fabric:

What you need:


💞Baking soda

Dry carpet cleaner (optional)

How to do it:


💞Firstly, remove any crumbs from your sofa’s surface.

💞Then, sprinkle the entire sofa with baking soda and leave to sit for at least 20 minutes.

💞Once the time is up, vacuum the sofa using a brush attachment.

💞To remove stubborn stains, mix the baking soda with dry carpet cleaner and leave that to sit for another 20 minutes.

💞If that isn’t enough, we recommend taking a handheld steam cleaner to remove lingering odours from your sofa👆💞💞💞💞❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕
