Deep Sofa Cleaning Dubai

In this guide, we’ll explain how to spot-clean your couch yourself or find out when it’s time to call in the pros.

Insider secrets for keeping your sofa newer for longer

Don’t let tough stains and messy spills cramp your style. Our handy tips will help you to keep your sofa looking brand new.

Tip # 1: Find the cleaning code

Keeping your sofa clean is not a problem, with various products and accessories available. And furniture makers include cleaning instructions:

● If you’re lucky, your couch’s tag will have a “W” code printed on it. This means you’ll be able to use water-based cleaning solutions.

● “S” indicates that only water-free solvents are allowed.

● The “SW” or “S/W” code means the fabric can handle both water-free solvents or water-based cleaners.

● “X” code means that your sofa must be vacuumed or brushed only.

● “DryCln” code indicates that a sofa can only be cleaned by a professional dry cleaner.

Tip # 2: Deal with incidents promptly

Accidents are bound to happen. It’s crucial to attend to them immediately. For spills or liquid messes, dab with a dry absorbent paper towel or cloth. For solid substances, use a fork or spoon to gently remove as much physical waste as possible.

If you’ve spilled something that might leave a stain, like red wine, it’s best to ask a professional cleaning company in Dubai for help.

Tip # 3: Vacuum clean loose dirt from the sofa surface

Find an all-rounded vacuum cleaner that fits all your household cleaning needs and can also double up as your sofa cleaning machine.

You should vacuum your sofa regularly to avoid dust building up which can cause marks to develop on the fabric that can’t be reversed. If your sofa needs a deeper clean, seek out a local professional sofa cleaning Dubai company rather than trying to do it yourself.

Tip # 4: Spot cleaning your sofa

If you can only use solvent-based cleaners, follow the instructions indicated on the bottle.

If you can use water, you’ll need:

· Distilled water

· Soft lint-free or microfiber cloths

· Dishwashing liquid White vinegar

· A bucket

Mix 1 cup of distilled water, 1 tablespoon of dishwashing liquid, and up to ¼ cup of vinegar. Dampen a microfiber cloth with this solution and gently blot stained areas. Then, moisten another cloth with distilled water and remove the soap. Finally, use a dry cloth to remove any excess moisture. Remember to test this out on a spot on your sofa first.

Tip # 5: Dry the sofa thoroughly

Carefully towel dry your sofa after you’ve cleaned it, and leave it to air-dry overnight.

General sofa care tips

Hopefully, now your sofa is looking good as new & smells fresh as a daisy. To keep it in the best possible condition, it’s important to take care of it regularly.

· Keeping your living area clean

Proper sofa care starts with protecting the area around it. Avoid scuffing your floor by using castor cups or felt pads on your sofa’s feet.

· Protecting sofas from fading

Fabrics are affected by sunlight and heat. It’s always advisable to keep your sofa away from direct light and heat sources, including radiators.

When all else fails

Many solutions can help to cure your couch-cleaning woes. However, if stains have had too much time to set, it’s high time to consider turning to a professional cleaning company in Dubai for help.
