Step 4: Clean the Fabric
Spray the cleaning solution onto your sofa lightly (don’t soak the fabric). Using a clean cloth or sponge, gently scrub the surface of the sofa in circular motions, paying special attention to any stained areas.
💡 Pro Tip: For microfiber sofas, be sure to use a gentle sponge or microfiber cloth to avoid damaging the delicate fabric.
Step 5: Rinse and Wipe Down
Once you’ve thoroughly scrubbed the sofa, take a clean, damp cloth and wipe away any excess soap and dirt. This will prevent residue from building up on your fabric, leaving it fresh and clean.
Step 6: Dry the Sofa
After you’ve finished cleaning, it’s important to let your sofa dry completely to avoid any mildew or musty smells. Use a microfiber cloth or towel to blot off excess moisture. You can also open the windows or use a fan to help speed up the drying process.
💡 Pro Tip: For particularly damp cushions, you can place them outside in the sun to air out and dry faster.
Step 7: Fluff and Reassemble
Once everything is dry, fluff up your cushions and give your sofa one last vacuum to ensure everything is clean and fresh. If you had removable cushion covers, now’s the time to pop them back on and enjoy your refreshed, clean sofa!
🧽 Additional Tips for Different Sofa Fabrics
- Leather Sofas: Use a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a little mild soap to wipe the surface. After cleaning, apply a leather conditioner to keep the material soft and supple.
- Microfiber Sofas: Microfiber is sensitive, so always test any cleaning solution before applying. Use a soft cloth or sponge and avoid soaking the fabric. A gentle brush can be used to restore the nap after cleaning.
- Velvet Sofas: Velvet is delicate and can get damaged easily. Lightly vacuum with a soft brush attachment and clean using a cloth dampened with a mild cleaning solution, being careful not to over-wet the fabric.
