Re: How to clean a fabric sofa
Devout, I think depending on the fabric strength , you can do a few things :
1- Hoover your sofa well , so it will take out some dirt. Then using a thick duster , use some arm strength and using the beating action , clean the sofa for a good few minutes .. believe me it takes out alot of dust fibre …
2- After that mix some washing powder in hot water and using a sponge , gently clean the sofa .. make sure you dont make it too watery or else it will spoil the fabric and the foam under neath.
3- Our sofa fabrics were tough , my mom used to clean them carpet cleaning agents and they would come out looking fabulous ..
4- If its a strong fabric , you can leave the cleaner on overnight .. and cleanse with water next day .. that too takes out alot of dirt …
Re: How to clean a fabric sofa
is is possible to take off the covers from the seat and back rests?
and also you can use a wet and dry hoover/vacum to suck up all the soap and water and it dries quicker this way especially is you use option number 2 suggested by CB
you can also get odour neutraliser sprays to help with your clean up

Devout , in that case , hoover it nicely a few times … then Mix some carpet detergent in warm water … Carpet cleaners are foamy and hence fabric will be safe, also foam is easier to clean and it doesnt get absorbed into the product … Using a sponge just go through the entire sofa with it … do this twice … give a few hours gap between both times .. and finally dip your sponge in clear water and clean the sofa a final time to remove any traces of foam and detergent ..
Make sure you dry the sofa well before using it ..
