HOW TO CLEAN A SOFA? MADDEN PLUS

Sofa Cleaning While your sofa is the perfect place to relax and calm down, many of us forget it requires regular cleaning, as it gathers everything from our dead skin cells to waste crumbs of food.

Depending on how dirty your sofa gets, you should idyllically have it cleaned once every few months.

Here are some top tips from cleaning experts at Madden Plus.

 Sofa material The first thing you must do before you start cleaning your sofa is recognize the material, which can be anything from linen to leather.

The material is usually displayed on the tag, accompanied by the following signs, which tell you the various ways in which you can and can’t clean your sofa: Cleaning Code for Fabric Sofas Chart X – you can only use a vacuum cleaner S – the sofa can only be cleaned with solvent cleaner SW – you can use water, or solvent cleaner if you prefer W – means you can wash the sofa with water

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.

Removing odours Once you’ve removed any morsels and loosened any stains, the next step is to remove any unfriendly odours. Baking soda is a great, budget-friendly solution for this. Simply sprinkling the sofa with baking soda and leave to sit for at least 20 minutes and then vacuum the sofa with a brush attachment.

If you find this isn’t enough, mix the baking soda with some dry carpet cleaner and leave to sit for another 20 minutes, which should leave your sofa looking new and fresh.

Leather sofas Cleaning leather sofas is a little different to fabric, but again, you should always check the care label before trying to clean the sofa yourself.

Once you’ve checked the labels, make sure to always dust the sofa first, so as not to press the dirt further into the leather when cleaning.

Next, vacuum the sofa with a soft brush setting and make sure to be as gentle as possible, so as not to scratch the leather.

After you’ve finished vacuuming, see if there are any spots or stains on your sofa and focus on cleaning them with a slightly damp cloth – that’s all leather normally needs.

If your sofa has any tenacious stains, lightly rub them with gentle soap (make sure to do a spot test first), without using too much water.
