HOW TO CLEAN THE SOFA WITHOUT DAMAGING IT
The fabrics that cover sofas and armchairs are prone to getting dirty both with dust and with stains from wine, coffee, ice cream and sweets. Another cause of dirt is children’s games with waxes and markers. The problem arises when we intend to remove the stains and to save the upholstery we need to take some remedies. The fabric can be either of uniform or colored canvas, but also of velvet, silk, up to the most precious ones such as linen, cashmere or alcantara. In all these cases, we can intervene with chemical products that eliminate stains, but often visibly alter the warm and natural colors of the fabrics. Hence, it is advisable to adopt the old remedies with products that are not harmful to health and easy to find, which do not damage the structures and produce satisfactory results.
THE SECRET TO REMOVE WINE AND ALCOHOLIC STAINS
This type of stain is usually removed effectively using the same substance they are made of. The affected area should be sprinkled with alcohol so that it blends with that of the stain. Then you can add the talcum powder, let it dry and brush.
WINE STAINS: THE SPEED OF ACTION
The first general rule of how to clean the fabric of upholstered chairs, sofa, armchair and upholstery is to be quick. There is a better chance of being able to remove a freshly made stain when the substance has not yet penetrated the fiber.
If you are not sure about the type of stain or fabric to remove, it is advisable to wet it with cold water. You can apply very little Marseille soap and rub gently. We recommend washing with abundant cold salted water, rinse for a long time and leave to dry away from sources of light and heat, to avoid streaks. Instead, pay attention to the use of hot water which often fixes the stain permanently.
