The sofa is one of the most used pieces of furniture in the home daily. Use that is increased exponentially if both children and adolescents live in the house. From this fact it follows that it constitutes a piece of furniture that tends to get dirty quite easily and, therefore, requires specific care when it is stained in multiple ways, be it by food, drink, ink, or the mere accumulation of dirt. We can use a series of home remedies to restore our sofa to its splendor and also make it look as new as possible.

Remove stains from the sofa with home remedies

• The process through which we can remove grease stains from sofa upholstery is very similar to the one we could use when it comes to clothing. Given the case, a very effective home remedy consists of taking some kitchen paper and tapping lightly on the area affected by the dirt, so that as much fat as possible is absorbed. Once this task is completed, we have to sprinkle talcum powder, cornstarch, or fuller’s earth. We must wait for the grease to dry and finally vacuum with the dust brush.
• For the regular maintenance of the sofa we can use a homemade alternative that results in the application of a kind of cleaning product made with a liter of water and half a cup of white vinegar. Once the combination is finished, we have to apply the resulting liquid on the stains that we intend to eliminate, rub them with a white cloth and let them dry for a few minutes. Finally, we must pass a soft and soft bristle brush.
• If the sofa has ink stains, it will be very important to know how to distinguish what type of ink is generating the incident. If it is washable ink, you can remove the remains of dirt using just a little soapy water. If it is, however, non-washable ink, you are going to need to invest a little more effort. Common home remedy for these cases involves the use of a cotton pad moistened with a little alcohol. We have to apply it directly on the stain and, later, rub with a white cloth until the complete elimination of the ink remains.
