Cleaning a fabric sofa can vary depending on the type of fabric, but here are some general steps:
1. Check the Care Tag
Look for the cleaning code on your sofa’s tag:
W: Use water-based cleaners.
S: Use solvent-based cleaners.
WS: Both water- and solvent-based cleaners are safe.
X: Vacuum only; professional cleaning recommended.
2. Vacuum the Sofa
Use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove dust, crumbs, and pet hair.
3. Spot Clean Stains
Mix mild detergent with water or use a commercial upholstery cleaner.
Gently blot stains with a clean cloth (never rub).
Test the cleaner on a hidden area first.
4.Deep Clean (if permitted):
Use a steam cleaner designed for upholstery.
Allow the sofa to air dry completely before using it again.
5. Regular Maintenance:
Rotate cushions to prevent uneven wear.
Keep the sofa out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
