Your couch or sofa is a central piece of furniture, providing comfort and relaxation. Over time it accumulates dirt, stains and odours. Here's how to clean it effectively and extend its lifespan.
Consult the care instructions first for recommended methods and precautions, so you avoid damaging the upholstery.
Use a soft brush attachment to vacuum all surfaces — cushions, crevices and corners — to remove loose dirt and prepare for deeper cleaning.
Test your cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area first. Apply a little, blot with a clean cloth, and check for any discolouration before continuing.
Identify the stain type (food, ink, pet) and choose an appropriate remover. Apply a small amount and gently blot — never rub vigorously, which can spread the stain or damage the fabric. Repeat until the stain lifts.
Fabric: mix a mild upholstery cleaner with water, dip a cloth or sponge, wring out excess, and gently scrub in circular motions without oversaturating. Blot with clean water to remove residue and let it air dry.
Leather: use a specialised leather cleaner or a mild soap-and-water solution. Apply a little to a soft cloth, wipe in circular motions, remove residue with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft towel.
Sprinkle baking soda over the upholstery, leave for at least 15 minutes to absorb smells, then vacuum thoroughly.
Fluff removable cushions and arrange them neatly for the finishing touch.
Regular cleaning keeps your sofa a comfortable, inviting centrepiece for years to come.
