How to Clean Your Couches
Couches are one of the most frequently used pieces of furniture in a home, making them prone to accumulating dirt, dust, and stains. Regular cleaning of your couches not only keeps them looking great but also helps maintain their longevity. However, cleaning couches can seem like a daunting task, especially if you don't know where to start. In this blog post, we'll walk you through some effective methods for cleaning couches.
#1 Vacuum your couch - The first step to cleaning your couch is to vacuum it thoroughly. Use the upholstery attachment on your vacuum cleaner to remove any loose dirt, dust, and debris. Pay special attention to the crevices, folds, and corners of your couch, where dust and dirt can accumulate. We suggest the Mile Triflex, its unique handheld design makes cleaning your couch a breeze.
#2 Spot cleaning- Next, identify any stains or spots on your couch and treat them accordingly. Use a cleaning solution appropriate for your couch's material. For example, for fabric couches, we suggest 3-Way Spotter or Stain & Odor Remover, while for leather couches, use a leather cleaner or a damp microfiber cloth. Always spot-test the cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of your couch first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric or color.
#3 Deep cleaning (If needed) - For deep cleaning, you can use a carpet cleaner or hire a professional cleaning service. Using a carpet extractor with a handheld cleaning tool is an effective method for removing deeply ingrained dirt and stains from your couch. If you decide to use a carpet cleaner, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and avoid using too much water, as this can damage your couch. We suggest using our carpet cleaning system using 2-in-1 followed by Carpet Rinse and Neutralizer.
#4 Deodorize your couch - To keep your couch smelling fresh, sprinkle Nilofresh over the entire surface and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. Then, use a vacuum cleaner to remove the powder, along with any odors.
In conclusion, regular cleaning of your couches is essential to keep them looking great and maintaining their longevity. By following these simple steps, you can effectively clean and protect your couches, ensuring they stay in top condition for years to come.
