How to clean the sofa

Whenever you vacuum the house, vacuum the sofa as well. Most vacuum cleaners sold today have a specific accessory for vacuuming upholstery. 

After you've vacuumed all of your sofa, you'll have eliminated most of the accumulated dust. But don't stop here! 

To ensure the non-proliferation of mites and bacteria, mix white vinegar with water, at the rate of 1 cup of vinegar for each liter of water. Spray this mixture all over the sofa and wipe it with a damp cloth right away. Then wipe with a dry cloth to remove excess moisture. 

For leather sofas or any other similar material, the ideal is to pass only a damp cloth followed by a dry cloth to remove excess moisture.

And once a month, use a specific product for leather conservation sold in specialized stores (liquid silicone or Vaseline) . By doing this your leather sofa will last a long time. 

House with pet and child: extra care 

If you have pets, you are sure to suffer from pussy hair loss, not to mention that they can scratch the entire couch (cats can't resist a couch!). At home with children it can be really difficult to clean the sofa and leave it looking again for a long time. 

To prevent your sofa from having a short shelf life, bet on blankets or covers.

There are several models for sale on the market and for homes with pets or children, the ideal is to buy waterproof covers, so if any liquid falls on the cover it will not go into the upholstery. 

The advantage of having a cover is that if it gets dirty, just remove it, wash it and go back to the furniture. This is much easier and cheaper than changing your sofa every year. 

The materials available on the market are as diverse as possible, but give preference to denim or denim, which are resistant and light at the same time. 

How to remove dirt that is difficult to get off

Dropped chocolate or grease on your brand new sofa? Calm down, here is the solution to this problem. 

The first step is to remove excess dirt, to do this, carefully scrape the dirty part with a spoon. Then vacuum the entire couch.

Then make a mixture of neutral detergent with warm water at the rate of 2 tablespoons of detergent for every 100ml of warm water (do not use detergent with color, only neutral).

Mix until it forms a foam, then, with a sink sponge, spread this mixture on the stain and, making light circular motions, rub until the stain comes out completely. Rinse the sponge and remove the mixture from the sofa with a clean sponge until no more soap comes out. 

If necessary, repeat the process and change the water when it becomes dirty. Let it dry in the shade. 

If your sofa is made of suede, fabric or leather, pay extra attention not to wet the foam to prevent the filling from molding. To do this, avoid using too much water during cleaning. To help with drying, turn on a fan and direct it towards the sofa after cleaning is complete. 

How does sofa waterproofing work

Depending on the use of the sofa, waterproofing it may be the best solution.

When waterproofing the sofa, a product that blocks the fabric's pores will be applied, causing the products to come into contact with this surface to be repelled. 

In other words, if a glass of juice falls, it is not even absorbed by the fabric of the sofa, it is as if the surface had an invisible plastic layer.

The cost can be a little high, but depending on the location and use, it may be worth it to change your sofa every year. 

But remember to only do the waterproofing with trained professionals as it is a highly flammable product. And to maintain effectiveness, you need to repeat the process at least once a year.
