In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of brands that are increasingly committed to resistant and highly durable materials in their upholstery, all this, together with upholstery with anti-stain fabrics and special cleaning treatments or products, which contribute to extending the life and care of a fabric sofa. However, it never hurts to know simple tricks that will help us keep our favorite sofa in perfect condition:
- Before starting cleaning, it is advisable to know the characteristics of the material used and the type of fabric : wool, linen, velvet, cotton, leather, microfibers or synthetic fabrics. Each of them needs different care.
- When you buy a new custom-made sofa in Malaga , always consult the sales representative for the manufacturer’s recommendations. You will save a lot of doubts or future worries.
- Brushing and vacuuming on fabric sofas are key. In most cases, with these basic cares, the sofa is perfect, quickly removing traces of dust or food, human hair or pet hair. A recommended process once a month.
- In cases where a stain has been generated, it is preferable to clean it immediately with a brush dampened in warm soapy water and then rinse with clear water. Another home remedy is to use the mixture of Volvone and water in a circular way with a sponge and then we will repeat the process only with water.
- In most cases, the covers are foldable or removable so you simply have to clean in the washing machine with a detergent for delicate garments and a temperature that does not exceed 40º. The sofa will be as good as new once the covers have dried.
As home tricks: alcohol, lemon juice, vinegar and neutral soap are always the most effective remedies. They should be applied to the stain with water and a clean cloth. In a matter of seconds the stain will have disappeared.
