Every home with young children has faced the “Oh no! The sofa is stained again” situation. Kids and sofas go hand in hand, whether it's chocolate stains, spilled fruit juice, or even footprints from jumping on the sofa. But don’t worry! Today, we’ll guide you through some easy sofa cleaning tips to get it looking like new again!

1. Assess the Damage First

Before you start cleaning, check what kind of stain you’re dealing with, such as water, food, or fruit juice. Different stains require different cleaning methods, so identifying the type will help you choose the right approach.

2. Start with Vacuuming

Before tackling the visible stains, start by vacuuming the sofa. Dust and small particles can get embedded in the fabric, and vacuuming will make it easier to clean major stains and prevent dust from spreading during the process.

3. Cleaning General Stains

For lighter stains, you can use a clean cloth dampened with a mild soapy water solution. Gently blot the stain, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth to ensure all soap residue is removed. Allow it to dry completely.

4. Cleaning Tough Stains

For stubborn stains, like chocolate or fruit juice, try using a dedicated upholstery cleaner or a mixture of vinegar, water, and a bit of dish soap. Blot the stain gently until it fades, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth.

5. Professional Cleaning Services

If the stains are too tough to handle or your sofa is made from delicate fabric, professional cleaning services might be the best solution. The New Kingston Cleaning team is here to restore your sofa to its former glory with specialized techniques and modern equipment. Stubborn stains will be a thing of the past!
