How to clean a fabric sofa naturally

Whether youskipping through Netflix shows're catching up over coffee relaxing with family, sofas offer the perfect spot. However, since cautious as you may be, there's no preventing the stains, spillages and dirt that build up with regular use (or even the awful smells and discolouration which come with it).

But do not fill your shopping cart with fabric cleaning products just yet. To give your upholstery a new lease of life, all it requires is a few natural ingredients -- many of which we could wager are in your kitchen cupboard.

Before you get started with some of these methods below, it is well worth assessing the respective cleaning codes of your couch cloth (usually found on the underside of your sofa cushions).

Give it a brush

To be certain you're giving your couch a sufficient deep clean, the first thing you should do is remove any crumbs or grime from both the outside and in-between the couch cushions (you might want to wear gloves).

To do it, you are going to need a clean, dry cloth.  With the cloth in hand, brush the upholstery, making sure you hit into all of the nooks and crannies.  For stubborn areas, for example dried-on stains, you might need to use a brush.

Shake smells

By their own nature, couch fibers have a tendency to cling to scents from spillages, critters and -- ahem gases. When entertaining guests With time, this can become an unpleasant, lingering odor, which isn't ideal. As you can mask the odor with an upholstery deodoriser, this only provides a temporary solution, and you could be back where you began just hours afterwards.

Alter stains

If your cloth sofa has faced years of wear and tear, cleaning might not be enough to revive it. You should think about reupholstering your couch or, if you do not have any cleaning goods to hand, using a sofa cover to conceal unsightly, stubborn stains.
