If we counted all the hours we spend sitting or lying on the sofa throughout the year, it would surely be many. And it is, along with the bed, one of our favorite places in the house and, therefore, it tends to get very dirty. On how to clean it, it largely depends on the material it is made from. If the covers can be removed, it is as simple as washing them in the washing machine on a very gentle program. In addition, there are some home remedies that work very well when cleaning the sofa .
Shall
Salt is a bleaching product and, in addition, it has a great capacity to absorb fat. Therefore, this is one of the best home remedies to clean the sofa and leave it spotless.
The process to prepare the mixture is very simple. The first thing is to squeeze three lemons and mix with salt until it dissolves. Then we rub on the stain and let it act for a few minutes. And finally, we clean the remains with a soft cloth, rinse with water and wait for it to dry.
Ammonia
For stubborn stains, ammonia works great. It is especially suitable for old sofas , which have mold stains, for example.
Before putting this solution into practice, we must do a test by applying a little ammonia in a place where it cannot be seen to see how it works.
If all goes well, mix a jet of ammonia in a bowl with half a liter of warm water and a little pH neutral soap . We mix and, when we have the pasta ready, we moisten a microfiber cloth in it and rub.
Bicarbonate
Baking soda is one of the most used products in home cleaning, and we can also use it to remove any type of stain that is on the sofa , from wine or from a pen, for example.
We have to mix a liter of warm water with a tablespoon of bicarbonate and a glass of white vinegar. When we have the mixture ready, we apply it on the stain by rubbing with a stiff bristle brush. Then we simply let it dry, and voila!
