Sofa Cleaning Step by Step

Have you asked yourself how to clean the sofa in the living room? Do not panic, because it is not harder than carpet cleaning. And if you can handle the carpet by yourself, then you will definitely deal with the sofa without a problem. All you have to do is to do it step by step and here is how.

Step number one is to prepare the sofa for the upcoming upholstery cleaning. How to do that? You have to vacuum it first. This way you will remove the dust and debris that collect on the sofa. If you have small children, then you most probably need to vacuum even more often as there are a lot of crumbs and food spills. Pets are another problem as they leave a lot of hair and it is even harder to clean.

Before you start cleaning, there are several more things to do such as to wipe the dust from the wooden parts of the sofa. Use damp cloth to do that and remember that a sofa which warranty is in effect shouldn't be cleaned with cleaning solutions but you have to read the instructions first.

Let's consider everything else done. Now we have to start the cleaning process and we should determine what type of fabric the sofa was made of. When you do that, it is time use the upholstery cleaning products you have already bought. You are going to need a shampoo for the fabric you plan to clean. Do not forget to apply it on a hidden place first in order to find out if it is going to damage it. When you are sure there is no danger, you can start cleaning the fabric and the cushions, too.
