One of the most difficult things to clean in the house is the sofas especially those that are covered in fabric. They are exposed to dirt in several ways. Coffee spills, pet fur, vomit, dust, and ink can leave the sofa looking old. Since the sofas are absorbent, such stains can penetrate deep, and it might be challenging to ensure that the original color is maintained.  Poor cleaning of sofas can make them look old. This explains why you should seek sofa cleaning services. Experts have extensive knowledge and skills they can use to leave your couch looking pristine.

 

In this article, we look at the different types of sofa stains and how they can be removed.

 

 

Dust and dirt

To keep your sofas free from dust, vacuum them regularly. Check the corners to ensure that all the particles of dirt have been removed.  If dirt is not removed often, it is pushed further into the fabric which eventually makes the sofa look dilapidated.

 

Vomit

Children’s vomit on sofas is common especially in homes with small kids. To clean the vomit stain, start by scrapping it off gently. Use a wet cloth and spread baking soda and lemon juice on the area. Baking soda prevents the sofa from smelling. Then rinse the patch using a wet cloth.

 

Pet hair

Pet hair clings very tightly to fabric-covered sofas. To remove it, spray water and fabric softener on the sofa and wipe it. Alternatively, wear wet rubber gloves and run your hand over the surface. Rinse them often until all the fur has been collected. A wet sponge can also be used.

 

Ink

Ink is also another stubborn stain that can discolor your sofa. Begin by wiping the ink but ensure not to spread it. Then, pour alcohol on the stain. Leave it for close to half an hour. Use absorbent material to dab on the spot until it becomes faded. You can then use carpet spray on that patch.

 

Blood

Coldwater is the best for removing blood stains from your sofa. Use soaked absorbent clothing on the spot and dab gently. If the cushion has a cover, wash it under running water.

 

 

To reduce the damage caused by these stains on the couch, ensure to remove them immediately.
