A couch is a major investment, so by regularly maintaining it, you can keep it in its original&nbsp;\u2019store-bought&#8217; state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:26px\"><strong>Cleaning Maintenance &amp; Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#c7c94f\"><strong>Daily Cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a good habit to regularly wipe down your couch with a clean, dry hand towel, or if it is fabric upholstery, with a lint brush.&nbsp;This actually helps to catch any dirt, dust, pet hair, or food crumbs that accumulate on a daily basis. It doesn\u2019t require a lot of elbow grease, just a once-over of the surface and quickly checking any creases or corners for build-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#c7c94f\"><strong>Spot Cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wine, chocolate, crayons, Cheetos dust (big game debris)\u2026all signs of a life well-lived. But you want to take care of those stains, as soon as they hit the surface, and before they become a permanent part of the upholstery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check the fabric tag. Many sofas will have a tag advising which is the best cleaning method. \u201cW\u201d for water-based cleaning solutions. \u201cP\u201d is for professional cleaning. \u201cS\u201d is for solvent-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kovifabrics.com\/blog\/how-to-make-homemade-upholstery-cleaner\/\">cleaners<\/a>. \u201cX\u201d is for vacuum cleaning only. If your sofa doesn\u2019t have this tag, you should play it safe and clean it with a professional cleaning product.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spot test the cleaning solution on the backside of a cushion or sofa, where it is not likely to be seen. Especially if you\u2019re using a DIY solution, it\u2019s best to check and ensure the cleaner doesn\u2019t discolor the fabric and agrees with it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always clean during the day and in bright light to see every spot, stain, or surface interruption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#c7c94f\"><strong>Deep Cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make it an annual, or semi-annual practice to deep clean your sofa. Even though on the surface it may look clean, regardless if you\u2019re following the above two steps, you would be surprised at what deep cleaning can bring out. Because you see your couch every day, you might not notice how it is starting to lose its original finesse. Deep cleaning restores it to its former glory. In order to professionally clean your couch, use a steam cleaner in conjunction with an appropriate professional cleaning agent.&nbsp;This is the most effective method but be prepared to be without a couch for up to a day, while it dries and airs out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:26px\"><strong>Cleaning Different Upholstery Types<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the upholstery type, the maintenance, and the cleaning agent slightly differs. There are four types of upholstery primarily used in couches. Leather is an animal hide that requires almost the same skincare regime that ours does&#8211;moisturizing, nourishment, and cleaning. Faux leather or vinyl is an animal-free alternative to its genuine counterpart, and because it is synthetic, moisture isn\u2019t as much of a factor, as is finding a compatible cleaning solution. Fabric upholstery is a woven textile product and can be either natural or synthetic, and both tend to be more sensitive to harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#c7c94f\"><strong>Below breaks down how to clean and care for each type of upholstery:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LEATHER UPHOLSTERY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.kovifabrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/OCN-329713_1-1024x545.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.kovifabrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/OCN-329713_1-1024x545.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.kovifabrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/OCN-329713_1-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.kovifabrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/OCN-329713_1-768x409.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.kovifabrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/OCN-329713_1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a week, grab a clean, damp cloth and use it to wipe or buff away noticeable stains. Use a brush vacuum attachment to clear up debris and crumbs from tufts, seams, and corners. Doing this regularly keeps debris from caking into hard-to-reach areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you spill on your leather, cover it with a soft, dry cloth to soak up the liquid. &nbsp;Take special care not to rub the stain, as this will just aggravate it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Once the initial spill is soaked up, gently clean the area by wiping it with a damp cloth. If the stain is still there, wash, rinse, and repeat. And if you don\u2019t see any progress, call a professional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep cleaning leather is done by vacuuming the couch first, wiping it down with an appropriate professional cleaning agent, and applying a leather conditioner\/oil to make it all shiny and new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>VINYL UPHOLSTERY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1023\" height=\"488\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.kovifabrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Olive_Chesterfield-Ooh_Events_1024x1024-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.kovifabrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Olive_Chesterfield-Ooh_Events_1024x1024-1.png 1023w, https:\/\/cdn.kovifabrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Olive_Chesterfield-Ooh_Events_1024x1024-1-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.kovifabrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Olive_Chesterfield-Ooh_Events_1024x1024-1-768x366.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1023px) 100vw, 1023px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Vinyl can be cleaned with a damp cloth which will easily erase any marks, scuffs, or stains A vacuum brush can suck up debris and crumbs from its tufts, seams, and corners.

A lint roller is also an easy and effective way to remove all pet fur or fluff, fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you stain or spill the fabric, because it is the most absorbent type of upholstery, you must attend to it &#8212; immediately. Grab a clean absorbent cloth or paper towel&#8211;but instead of scrubbing, simply place the cloth over the spill, allow it to absorb, and blot it till clean. Then once the stain is removed, you can use a hairdryer on it. If the stain is still there, use dish soap on it. If that doesn\u2019t work, it\u2019s time to bring in a professional. Hopefully, you don\u2019t get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For deep cleaning your fabric upholstery, you can steam clean it using the appropriate professional cleaning solution.

While it is a fabric, it has a luxurious pile that is quite delicate. Vacuuming keeps velvet looking regal and keeps the pile upright, which maintains its luminosity. Velvet can occasionally develop what is known as \u201ccrush marks\u201d from prolonged sitting or sleeping. If this happens, just use a steamer and brush out the wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you spill on velvet, \u201ctime is of the essence,\u201d as with other fabric, so the minute you see a spill, use a clean damp cloth and soak up the spill. Avoid scrubbing; wait for the spill to absorb and dry. Once the stain is removed, you can use a hairdryer on it. (If the stain is still there, use dish soap on it, and if that doesn\u2019t work &#8211; it\u2019s time to bring in a professional.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep cleaning can be done with a steam cleaner and the appropriate professional cleaning solution.
