Comprehensive And Effective Sofa Cleaning And Disinfection

The sofa is the ideal place to relax after a day of work. However, this is also a potential place for many bacteria and molds, affecting the beauty of the house as well as human health. Let’s learn with EGS some comprehensive and effective ways to disinfect and clean sofas.

Why should sofas be cleaned regularly?

Regular sofa cleaning and disinfection brings many benefits, such as:

Safety

With prolonged and frequent use, the sofa will degrade and become an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria and mold. Regular cleaning of the chair removes dirt and germs, which is beneficial to the user's health.

Aesthetics

Besides the benefits to your health, sofa cleaning and disinfection also contribute to the aesthetics of your living and working space. It limits discoloration and promptly replaces damaged parts, returning the sofa to its original beauty.

The life of the sofa

The cost of a sofa is expensive, even if it can be designed with sophisticated and high-quality materials. If the sofa is not cleaned regularly and properly, it will affect the material. At the same time, after a long time of use, the sofa is dirty, and bacteria will cause rotting, which is unsightly and costly.

How to clean sofas for each material

Sofas are often made from many different materials, depending on the design style and needs of the user. As a result, selecting a suitable cleaning method for sofas is dependent on a variety of factors, including the material. 

Suede

Suede is a type of leather that reveals the same characteristics as regular leather but has a distinct surface structure. Suede sofas typically have a leftover outer surface or are lightly rubbed to expose the leather's inner grain. Therefore, sofa cleaning must be performed with greater care and attention to detail so as not to compromise the chair's quality, using the following straightforward steps:

• Remove the cushions and vacuum the sofa, paying particular attention to the cushions and the sides.
• Clean the sofa with a suede-specific cleaner and a soft bristle brush brushed in a circular motion. For stains such as grease, you can apply talcum powder or cornstarch, let it sit overnight, and then brush it off the following morning.

Use specialized equipment and chemicals to clean suede 

Velvet sofas

A velvet sofa is a type of sofa whose fabric is velvet. It is smooth, silky, and warm like wool, but it is softer and offers a superior user experience. Popular and frequently used, velvet sofas are also simple to clean with the following steps.

• Regularly vacuum, particularly as soon as the food is spilled on the surface.
• Utilize a steam iron for a thorough clean.
• Regularly flipping and flattening the mattress will help prevent the velvet fabric from fading over time.

One of the products known for its class and luxury is, however, susceptible to damage. Consequently, sofas made of natural leather must be cleaned with leather-specific cleaning products or materials containing natural ingredients, such as vinegar, according to the steps below.

• Combine olive oil and vinegar in a ratio of 2:1. Pour the solution into the bottle and vigorously shake to ensure that it is thoroughly mixed.
• Utilize a dry fabric to clean the sofa.
• Cleanse with a fresh cloth.
