Cleaning a couch thoroughly involves several steps to ensure all dirt, odors, and stains are effectively removed. Here's a detailed guide:
1. Vacuuming
- We start by vacuuming the entire couch to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris.
- We use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment to get into crevices and seams.
2. Pre-Rinse Odor Killer
- Pre-rinse odor killer spray to areas that may have strong odors. We then allow it to sit for the recommended time on the product label to neutralize odors effectively.
3. Upholstery Soap
- We use a solution of upholstery soap
- Soft brush to gently scrub the couch with the soap solution, focusing on stained or heavily soiled areas.
4. Cleaning Pillow Covers at a Laundromat
- Remove pillow covers and take the covers to a laundromat and wash them according to the care instructions, usually using a gentle cycle and hot water.
5. Proper Drying Process
- For the couch itself, after cleaning, we let it sit for an approximant amount of time to dry for an approximate amount of time. This prevents mold and mildew growth.
- We ensure the couch is completely dry before final inspection.
6. Final Inspection
- Once the couch is dry, we inspect it for any missed spots or stains.
- If necessary, repeat the cleaning process on any areas that still appear dirty.
7. Storing
- We store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
By following these steps, we can ensure your couch is thoroughly cleaned and well-maintained
