Why Is Sofa Cleaning Important?

✔ Removes Dust & Allergens

Upholstery traps dust mites and allergens that can trigger sneezing, asthma, and skin irritation.

✔ Eliminates Stains & Odours

Food spills, sweat, and pet accidents can leave unpleasant smells and permanent stains if not cleaned properly.

✔ Extends Sofa Life

Regular cleaning prevents fabric wear and maintains the sofa’s colour and softness.

✔ Keeps Your Home Hygienic

A clean sofa improves your indoor air quality, making your home safer for kids, pets, and guests.

Types of Sofa Cleaning at Home

Different sofas require different cleaning methods based on fabric type and level of dirt.

1. Vacuum Cleaning

The simplest and most essential step.

Removes:

• Dust
  
  

• Loose dirt
  
  

• Pet hair
  
  

• Food crumbs
  
  

Use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment for better results.

2. Dry Foam Cleaning

Suitable for delicate fabrics and lightly soiled sofas.
Foam loosens dirt and is wiped off without soaking the fabric.

3. Wet Shampooing

Ideal for moderately dirty sofas.

Involves:

• Applying upholstery-safe shampoo
  
  

• Scrubbing gently
  
  

• Removing foam with a wet vacuum
  
  

• Air drying
  
  

Removes stains and refreshes the fabric.

4. Steam Cleaning / Hot Water Extraction

One of the most effective deep cleaning methods.

Benefits:

• Kills germs & bacteria
  
  

• Removes deep stains
  
  

• Eliminates odours
  
  

• Deep cleans fabric layers
  
  

Perfect for families with kids, pets, or frequent usage.

DIY Sofa Cleaning Tips

1. Always Check Fabric Labels

Look for cleaning codes like:

• W: Water-based cleaning
  
  

• S: Solvent-based
  
  

• WS: Either method
  
  

• X: Vacuum only
  
  

2. Blot Stains—Don't Rub

Rubbing spreads stains and damages fabric.

3. Use a Mild Cleaning Solution

Mix:

• 1 tsp mild liquid soap
  
  

• 1 cup warm water
  
  

Test on a hidden area first.

4. Baking Soda for Odours

Sprinkle baking soda on the sofa, leave for 20 minutes, and vacuum. It absorbs bad smells naturally.

5. Sun Drying (If Possible)

Sunlight kills bacteria and dries fabric quickly—especially useful for pet-related stains.

When to Call Professional Sofa Cleaners?

Professional cleaning is recommended when:

• Stains are old or stubborn
  
  

• The sofa has a bad odour
  
  

• Fabric looks dull and dirty
  
  

• You have allergies
  
  

• Sofa hasn't been deep cleaned for 6–12 months
  
  

Professionals use advanced machines, safe chemicals, and trained techniques to restore your sofa to like-new condition.
