The couch has been favorite furniture apart from the bed and dining table for the new era millennial. They are sleek, beautiful, ravishing, and exponentially increase the beauty of the interiors. They are an inseparable part of the interior home décor now, opening a new gateway of padded furniture/upholstery in the modern world. Also, the couch is more toddler-proof than other conventional sofas, as they are padded everywhere, not leaving any point of possible meet-up with hardwood/metal for the toddler.
This upholstery does bring the requirement of extensive couch cleaning along with it. Special dusting and care have to be taken of these padded upholsteries, as even though they are highly comfortable and relaxing, they can get very messy when some stains are left unattended.
Best methods to remove stains from different types of fiber couch
Natural fiber couch
Natural fiber consists of processed cotton-linen used to make padded upholstery, giving it the natural beauty and feel everyone urges for. Since the globalization of every business, experts opted for cheap processing and manufacturing costs offering better and fast results than the natural ones, so one should always check the composition before buying if he/she is eyeing for a natural and organic couch.
With this, comes the special need for couch cleaning and stain removal, which requires special measures, different than other fabrics.
- Mix vinegar, lukewarm water, and mild detergent in a container.
- Spray it over the affected area with a piston or a pump sprayer.
- Let it sit for a while, but not for very long either.
- Rub lightly with a dry cloth until the stain is removed.
- Damp the area with a moist cloth cleaning residue.
- Pat and let it dry.
Synthetic fiber couch
Synthetic fiber couches are made up of synthetic fibers, usually nylon, polyester, acrylic, and olefin. These are petrochemical products woven in strings and threads. They were discovered by scientists in labs, artificially, so they are termed as synthetic fibers. One such fiber is the microfiber, made up of polyester as the basic component. They are the first choice of pet owners as they restrain scratches and claw marks, the reason being its complex interwoven fiber. The method to remove stains from the synthetic couch is:
- Mix the vinegar and hot water along with some liquid detergent in a container.
- Spray it over the stained area.
- Let it sit so that the stain gets soaked.
- Rub for a few times until the stain comes off.
- Remove the excess with a damp cloth and clean it.
- Pat and let it dry under the clean open air.
Leather couch
Leather couches consist of processed animal hide, often also termed as leather coverings for normal couches and are the modern era USP of elegant interior-mongers, hunting for people with a need of a décor worth envy. As leather is highly durable, it cannot be just cut off or worn off by simple scratches, the same doesn’t happen with the synthetic ones, as they need different care. Similarly, leather couch cleaning is also very different than the other two, and the basic ways are mentioned below
- Mix extra virgin olive oil with warm water in a container.
- Spray it over the stained area.
- Let it rest for the stain to get soaked.
- Rub and scrub it a few times, until the stain comes off.
- Remove the excess with a damp cloth.
- Pat and let it dry.
