How to Remove Stains from Sofa

If you tell me you don't have a sofa in your house, I won't believe you because I have never seen a house without upholstery. So, as everything else in your home, the sofa also needs cleaning and it should be regular. What makes us nervous when it comes to this part of the cleaning process, is the fact that there are countless stains to deal with. But here is the decision.

One of the most important things to do when upholstery cleaning, is to act immediately. The sooner you treat the stain, the easier it comes out. Wine which is really hard to deal with can be very stubborn. Treat the spill immediately using a rag soaked in alcohol, then blot with another one but with cleaning detergent and repeat until the cloth is clean.

Some of the most often stains are those made of food, especially if you have children who adore eating on the couch. Some professionals recommend using bleach but it is not really useful and in some cases it can be harmful as well. So, if you don't want to take so harsh upholstery cleaning actions, you can use a clean cloth and stain removing detergent to blot with.

There is no need to get panic if there is a blood spot on the sofa. The procedure is the same as the one with the wine. Use white spirit to blot and remember that you should never apply hot water on a blood stain as it is going to settle it.
