It is not something that we clean every day, but we do want it to be very clean because we spend a good part of the time we are at home in it… sofa It is one of the great protagonists of any home, it has a lot of use and as such requires a good maintenance. Many of us use covers to protect the sofa on a daily basis and because they are easier to wash deepbut even with them a couple of times a year it is convenient clean the sofa Properly said.
Before starting
Before starting to clean the covers or the sofa itself, we must be well informed about the materials with which our sofa is made and, if possible, on the manufacturer’s instructions regarding its cleaning and care. Cleaning a leather sofa is not the same as cleaning a synthetic one or one upholstered with cotton fabric, for example. If we want to use specific products, we should know what type of fabrics and materials we are dealing with. In some cases much of the sofa has removable covers and can be washed in the washing machineactually this happens more and more, because it is certainly more comfortable and, consequently, more hygienic.
to remove the dust
First and foremost is dust off and to make it the easiest and fastest way we must do it with a vacuum cleaner, checking well that we aspire from all the corners. Handheld vacuum cleaners are especially comfortable for this, a handheld vacuum cleaner like the one from Cecotec in the photo above is worth 57.90 euros.

Deep cleaning
Once the dust is removed, the most delicate moment arrives, that of thorough cleaning, whether or not there are stains, the sofa will always be somewhat stained and we will notice it especially when we start cleaning and see how it recovers its original color and shine. We can do this with a sponge or microfiber cloth moistened with soap and waterwith a steam cleaner like the one from Taurus, from the photo above, which costs 40.40 euros on Amazon or with specific products for cleaning sofas such as Mercadona for upholstery and carpets.

And if you have pets
Having pets or not does not change the cleaning procedure much, but it requires that the vacuuming be more exhaustive, in fact with pets it is convenient vacuum even the covers before putting them in the washing machine, even if they are washable. Unfortunately the pet hair They don’t fall off the fabric when you wash it, you have to vacuum them first.
perfect finish
Finally, for a good finish, depending on the material with which the sofa is made, there are options that can be interesting such as polishes for leather or synthetic sofas and waterproofers for upholstered sofas which also make them less dirty and keep them clean for longer and like new.
