what colour goes with brown leather sofa?
..that aside, and back to the topic.
You probably have invested a lot of resources in getting a nice sofa set and you want to get value out of it. There are different ways to maintain it for long term sake. Regular cleaning of the sofa set will prevent it from getting dirty.
Prevent your sofa from getting damaged by protecting it from stains with these 3 handy tips.
Use a dry brush to remove loose particles:
Go over the entire sofa with a stiff brush with natural bristles to help loosen stains and bring dust and dirt to the surface.⠀
Vacuum/Dust off:
Before scrubbing and cleaning your fabric sofa, use a hand-held vacuum to remove crumbs and any other loose particles. This will make it easier to identify and focus on troublesome stains when it comes time to clean.
Clean with baking soda:
Baking soda isn’t just for baking – it’s also an effective cleaning treatment. In fact, sprinkling baking soda over the entire couch will help to remove odours and further loosen stains. You can also use a homemade baking soda solution for any areas of deep-set stains; in a bowl, mix together equal parts baking soda and water. For either the dry or wet solution, let the baking soda sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Once the baking soda has fully absorbed the stain, vacuum it up with a brush attachment. And as with all types of cleaning solutions, always spot treat a test portion of the sofa before cleaning it fully.
