Some everyday cleaning methods for fabric sofas

Fabric sofas are a common type of furniture in homes. In daily life, they not only enhance the aesthetics of our homes but also provide comfort and reduce fatigue. However, fabric sofas are also prone to getting dirty, so proper maintenance is essential. So, how do we clean a dirty fabric sofa, and what precautions should we take? Let's find out below.

A vacuum cleaner must be used to clean fabric sofas.

When cleaning a fabric sofa, you must find out if it's a removable type. If it is, you should ask the salesperson at the time of purchase if it can be cleaned with water. For non-removable fabric sofas, we recommend using a vacuum cleaner instead of a damp cloth to remove dust. Generally, fabric sofa manufacturers produce two types of sofas: removable and non-removable.

When using a vacuum cleaner, it's essential to consider the fabric structure of the sofa. Fabric sofas are not durable and prone to wear and tear. Therefore, it's best to avoid using the brush attachment when vacuuming, as excessive suction can break the fabric. A small to medium-sized vacuum cleaner is preferable.

To remove stains from fabric sofas, use cleaning solution on some areas.

In daily life, it's inevitable to get water or oil stains on fabric sofas. These require some cleaning. Since water alone isn't effective at removing stains, we can use soap or alcohol. For stubborn stains, a specialized cleaning solution can be used. Regardless of the fabric sofa brand, regular cleaning is essential to extend the sofa's lifespan.

When using soap or alcohol, use a clean, pure cotton cloth or towel dampened with a small amount of soap or alcohol to gently wipe from the outside of the stain inwards. Finally, use a dry, absorbent pure cotton towel to remove the moisture. If using a specialized cleaning solution, a colorfastness test must be performed to prevent fading of the fabric sofa.
