Clean your sofa is stains naturally

Cleaning a sofa naturally proves to be budget-friendly and is safer for your family and pets. It was a few months past that my dog Max jumped onto the couch with muddy feet after a walk in the rain. The first thought that popped into my mind was panic (white sofa, hello!), but then I remembered something my grandma used to tell me.

First of all, vacuum the sofa thoroughly—blow all crumbs, dust, hair from pets, from under it everywhere—make the couch free of any debris.

Then I made a homemade recipe: a 1:1 white vinegar and water mixture with a little dish soap. I soaked a microfiber cloth in the solution, squeezed it out heavily, and dabbed (not scrubbed!) the stained areas. After that,

I sprinkled a little baking soda on the wet spots and stood for 15-20 minutes—it also helps to eliminate stains and odor mollify. Then simply vacuum up the baking soda once it dries.

Long answer in short and simple format: Vacuum sofa, use a vinegar mix for light stains, baking soda for tougher ones after testing on a hidden spot.

Today, for tougher stains—the night I spilled red wine during a movie night (poorly me)—I used 30-volume hydrogen peroxide blended with a teensy bit of baking soda and dish soap.

Spot-tested it first, of course, in a hidden corner of the sofa. Worked like magic! Just put it on gently with a cloth, blot it, and don’t drown the fabric. After that,

I opened the windows and let whatever air dried naturally. The trick is that time-patience can easily take the stain down into the carpet. Also, don’t forget to look at the sofa’s fabric label (normally has a W, S, WS, or X). It will inform you what type of cleaners are safe. Seriously, since using these homemade tricks, I haven’t had to turn back. My sofa remains stain-free, fresh, and in good shape.

What is the best natural upholstery cleaner?

Baking soda is a panacea for cleaning because it is a gentle alkaline that gets down into greasy and grimy surface material and dissolves those molecules.
