How to Clean White Fabric Sofa
Cleaning a white fabric sofa requires careful and gentle methods to protect the material and color of the sofa. It is recommended that consumers choose a white sofa that can be fully disassembled and washed, or a sofa with detachable cushion and pillow covers.
Here are some effective cleaning steps and precautions:
Daily cleaning
- Regular vacuuming:
Use a vacuum cleaner regularly (recommended at least twice) to thoroughly clean the sofa, especially the gaps, corners, and armrests, to remove dust and debris. - Wipe with a slightly damp cloth:
For daily minor stains or dust, a slightly damp soft cloth can be used to gently wipe the surface of the sofa.
Stain treatment
- Choose the appropriate cleaning agent:
For white sofas, it is recommended to use cleaning agents specifically designed for light colored furniture and avoid using products containing bleaching ingredients to prevent color fading.
You can also choose some mild and suitable cleaning agents for fabric materials, such as soap water, white vinegar solution, etc. - Local tests:
Before using any cleaning agent, conduct a local test in an inconspicuous location to ensure that the cleaning agent does not cause damage to the sofa. - steps for stain treatment:
For general stains: Spray the cleaning agent on a soft cloth (instead of directly spraying it on the sofa), and then gently wipe the stain area.
For stubborn stains (such as coffee, red wine, etc.): You can try using a mixture of baking soda and water. Mix baking soda and water in a 1:1 ratio to make a paste, gently apply it to the stain, let it sit for about 15 minutes, wipe it with a clean damp cloth, and finally absorb the moisture with a dry cloth.
For oil stains: White vinegar solution (a 1:1 mixture of white vinegar and water) can be used for cleaning. Use a spray bottle to evenly spray the solution on the stain, wait for a while, and then wipe it with a clean wet cloth.
Precautions
- Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the white sofa to fade. It is recommended to use curtains or blinds to block the sunlight.
- Prevent liquid infiltration: Avoid placing beverages, food, and other liquids directly on the sofa. Once a spill occurs, it should be immediately dried with a dry cloth and cleaned.
