Sofas are certainly not just a fashion or decorative accessory of our home; they are also an important zone of comfort and relaxation, because we relax on them after a busy day or hang out with friends over a good glass of wine. However, with improper and irregular cleaning, dust mites, dirt and unwanted stains can appear on them, which can dry out and then be difficult to remove. Mites and dirt also have a bad effect on our well-being and health. That is why any advice on how to take care of the seating in the fastest and easiest way is welcome.

When caring for the seat, pay attention to the type of material

Each type of sofa requires its own type of maintenance and care. The sofas can be made of different materials. It is important, you know, what material your seat is made of and what is suitable for the maintenance of such material. Seating sets can be made of leather, natural, artificial or mixed materials.

Clean the leather seat only with a damp cotton cloth; for more demanding stains, use dedicated cleaners

Leather sofas are very popular. The leather stays beautiful and does not crack only if the seat is properly cared for. Leather is a great material in itself because it breathes, is long lasting and durable. Minor stains on it can therefore only be removed with a damp cotton cloth; for more demanding stains or for preventive cleaning, it is recommended to use a cleaner designed specifically for leather. It is also recommended that the leather on the seat be coated before the winter, as heating draws moisture from it.

For fabric sofas, use water-based preservatives

Use a water-based agent for the most effective protection of the fabric sofa. This creates a protective layer on the seat, which prevents, for example, spilled liquid and other dirt from getting into the fibers. You can also choose from quality fabric cleaners on the market. When caring for and cleaning, use a suitable cloth to clean stains.

Stains on the seat should be dealt with immediately

If you want to restore the leather or fabric on the seat to its original condition, you need to deal with the stains immediately. Therefore, remove stains as soon as possible. Be careful not to rub it into the fabric. To remove stains, we especially recommend an ecological fabric cleaner. Such cleaners are extremely gentle, but at the same time they work extremely effectively on all types of stains. Simply spray the cleaner on the stain and wipe with a damp cloth.

Use an odor neutralizer

If you are not able to deal with the stain on the seat immediately or the amount of spilled liquid was too large to be absorbed completely, use an odor neutralizer. This one is designed to remove unwanted odors from all types of fabrics and leather. It is made from environmentally friendly ingredients that are safe for animals and humans. The neutralizer is also welcome as an air freshener because it removes the smell of cigarettes, sweat and other unwanted odors.

You can also clean the sofa with a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment. All purchased cleaners intended for cleaning sofas must first be tested on a small area of ​​the sofa. Make sure that the cleaner does not contain alcohol, acetone or is not based on nitro.

Prepare a seat cleaner at home

You can easily and quickly make a sofa cleaner at home. You will only need vinegar, water and a little fabric softener or essential oil as desired. Mix vinegar and water in a 1: 1 ratio in a bowl, then add a little fabric softener or your chosen essential oil for a refreshing war. This way, your sofa will always have a pleasant smell. If you don’t want to use artificial stain removers, baking soda is also a great solution.

You can clean it once a week to prevent and maintain your sofa. This will preserve the wonderful scent and its original appearance. Also use covers designed for sofas, as they will prevent dirt or stains from penetrating the sofa.

Artificial leather is material used for sofas in present days and it is desirable to protect it with proper cleaning. You give us advices and I'm very satisfied. Many can use this wonderful tips. Leather is sensitive to sweat as well, so we need to be careful no to exposure it so much to this human liquid. Also pets can make a little problem, but with constant cleaning we can deal with every stain. It is good to use natural substitutes for cleaning and get lasting of material for long years.

Hi, Zlatolaska and welcome :) Unfortunately, we are overwhelmed with chemicals that are too expensive and we get the impression that we cannot function without them. When all that changed, I didn't notice, so I decided to stop chemistry. Only domestos can be used in the bathroom, but vinegar and baking soda can fix everything else. Thanks for the idea.
