A clean sofa can make or break your dating experience. It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about hygiene and comfort.

Guide on how to clean fabric sofa

1. Steam cleaning: Take your household iron that produces steam or better still, use a garment steamer if you got one. Firmly press it on the sofa’s surface to eliminate dust mites. If you don’t have any of these items at home, skip this step and go directly to the next step.
2. Vacuum cleaning: Give your sofa a deep clean by vacuuming every inch. Clean the back, arms, skirt, and cushions. For removable cushions, take them off and vacuum the fabric underneath and around the edges. Don’t forget the seams, buttons, and trim.

Guide on how to remove stains from fabric sofa

What you need:

• Clean cloth or spray bottle
• Hydrogen Peroxide (get it in any pharmacy near you)
• Baking soda (available in any grocery store)
• Room-temperature water

Here’s how to do it:

Dilute the hydrogen peroxide with equal parts of room-temperature water in a clean cloth or spray bottle. This will reduce the risk of damage to the fabric.

Test a hidden area before applying hydrogen peroxide to the stain, test it on a hidden area of the fabric to ensure it doesn’t cause discoloration or damage.  

Apply the solution gently by using the diluted peroxide to the stain.

Blot the stain and allow the peroxide to sit for a few minutes or longer depending on the stubbornness, then blot the stain gently again with another clean, dry cloth.  

Once the stain has been treated with peroxide, you then apply baking soda over the stain and let it absorb the remaining moisture. Baking soda is great in removing smells as much as stains.

Leave it soak for some time before vacuuming it.
