Upholstery Sofa Cleaning

Depending on how we use the sofa it can take a lot of wear and tear.. From eating TV dinner to watching a movie with your pet snuggled up against you. The couch can capture body oils, cooking odours, dust mites and allergies and they will be lurking in your sofa causing allergies and irritation to airways.Eating on your sofa really isn’t ideal, food particles, sticky finger marks and spilt drinks can all occur from enjoying a snack on the sofa.  Keep eating at the table. If you do like to indulge on your sofa you need to keep it clean or at least cover with a washable throw.

Hoover it daily and invest in a good upholstery cleaner or leather cleaner .  Take off cushion covers and wash these as often as you can. As well puff your cushions and lightly steam.

My Sofa Cleaning Tips

Bicarbonate of Soda  is great for a lot of things, including the removal of grime and embedded dirt in your sofa. Test the fabric first in an inconspicuous area, but Bicarbonate of Soda  is safe for most types of upholstery. You will need a couple of cleaning cloths, a a stiff brush, Bicarbonate of Soda and your vacuum cleaner with the smaller brush attachment.

  • Use the stiff brush to brush away crumbs, dust, and other debris.
  • Sprinkle the couch with bicarbonate of soda which you can also mix with an essential oil if you wish and let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Use the brush attachment on your vacuum to thoroughly remove the baking soda or mixture.
  • If you have a steamer very lightly steam just to ensure your killing germs. Always hold approx 30cm away from the fabric
  • Finish of with a Dettol antibacterial spray of a fabric refresher.

For any tough stains that are still present mix together  3/4 cup warm water, 1/4 cup white wine vinegar and one tablespoon of washing up liquid and scrub the mixture in with a hard brush and then blot dry.

Other methods to try for stains which I have tried and tested are:

Teepol prespot treatment

Oxy power Fabric Cleaner

There are plenty more cleaning tips and home hacks so take a read

Now you know how to deep clean your fabric sofa so that it not only looks like new but smells fresh and clean.

Good Morning 💗I have been on a decluttering mission over the past few days and I have been ruthless. Wardrobes have been jam packed full of clothes we no longer wear, endless amounts of make up and hair accessories.Decluttering is such a well needed process a few times a year. (Once a season for me) It will improve your headspace, make you feel much more positive and give your home more space and order. Be tough STOP the excuses and STOP holding onto something because you might wear or use it again.START by getting everything out of cupboards, wardrobes and bedside cabinets If you are short on time, just do one space whenever you have a spare 15 minutes.✅Get rid of clothes that don’t fit ✅Get rid of Stained/ damaged items ✅Reassess on trend purchases✅FILL A BAG, donate, sell or recycleMake time and go for it 😀#declutter #organise #wardrobeessentials #keypieces #letgo #brutal #recycle #donate #confidence #style #teenagelife #mumslife #queenofclean #fillabag #restore #order #motivation #mentalhealth #cleanhouse #happyhouse #autumnclean #autumncleaning ...

Happy clean sheets Sunday 💖Changing the bedding is not everyone’s favourite job. The washing along with the ironing and then popping on a lovely fresh set is time consuming and not easy for everyone especially if you suffer with health conditions. 🛌But the benefits of a fresh bedding are immense. That feeling of climbing into fresh sheets that smell gorgeous is a magical moment.How often do you change your bedding ???🛌Twice a week.🛌 One a week 🛌 Every fortnight 🛌 Once a monthBeds can become seas of human cells, bacteria and bodily fluids . Warm, moist environments are an ideal breeding grounds for dust mites and their faeces can trigger allergic reactions 🙈#cleansheetssunday #bedding #sheets #bed #bedroom #bedroominterior #bacteria #dirt #bodilyfluids #queenofclean #queenofcleaneffect #clean #cleaning #bedding #beddingsets #homesweethome #cosy #sleep #sleepwell ...

Good Morning lovelies 💗......It’s Fridge Friday .Keep on top on your fridge cleaning by dedicating just 10 minutes a week to your fridge then these simple steps will become a breeze.Building a habit like this is going to save if you so much time in the long run 1️⃣Empty your fridge and check dates & for empties 2️⃣Take the shelves out and wash in warm soapy water if you have spillages or sticky patches grab a multi purpose cleaner and wipe over before washing in the warm soapy water or add into your water a drop of white wine vinegar 3️⃣Use a cotton bud (bamboo ones preferable) with a tiny drop of washing up liquid and water and run through the fridge rubber seal. Mould builds up very quickly in the seals 4️⃣Wash the inside fridge sides with your warm soapy water and a splash of white vinegar 5️⃣Put back together and leave in a small egg cup of bicarbonate of soda to soak up any food odours✨Happy Friday✨ #fridgefriday #motivation #queenofclean #cleaning #routine #focus #dailytasks #lifestyle #kitchencleaning #kitchensofinstagram #mumslife #familylife #clean #tidy #homesweethome #groceries #fooddelivery #cleanup #dirty ...
