Step 4: Deodorize Naturally
To remove odors:
- Sprinkle baking soda generously over the sofa
- Let sit for 15–30 minutes (or longer for stronger odors)
- Vacuum thoroughly
You can also lightly mist the fabric with a mix of water and a few drops of essential oil (like lavender or lemon) for a gentle, pleasant scent.
Step 5: Deep Clean Periodically
If your sofa is water-safe, deep clean it every 3–6 months using a fabric cleaner or steam cleaner. Follow the instructions for your specific fabric type.
For non-water-safe fabrics or delicate materials (like suede or velvet), consider hiring a professional cleaner once or twice a year.
