How to clean your sofa in just 3 steps

A sofa is a central part of our daily lives and often the focal point of the living room. We want to use it and enjoy it without constantly worrying about stains. Still, some mishaps are unavoidable and happen from time to time. This simple step-by-step guide shows you how to get your sofa clean again in just 3 steps.

Cleaning instructions

Step 1

  • Spray the Fabric Cleaner onto the stain and generously onto the surrounding area.
  • Let it work for 5 minutes.

Step 2

  • Gently massage the liquid in with the sponge or brush, working in both directions.
  • Let it foam for 5 minutes.

Would you also like to re-waterproof your sofa and give the upholstery an extra protective layer? Then use our Fabric Guard spray and follow these instructions:

Waterproofing instructions

Step 1

  • Vacuum the surface thoroughly and clean it if needed. Then let it dry completely.

Step 2

  • Spray Fabric Guard evenly from a distance of about 15 cm (6 in), both horizontally and vertically, and let it dry for about 3 hours.

Step 3

  • The waterproofing only reaches its full effect after a few days, once it has fully penetrated the fabric. Repeat the application regularly as needed.

It is important to always remove a stain IMMEDIATELY after it happens. Once it has dried or soaked in, professional cleaning may be necessary.
