Domestic Cleaning: How to Remove a Stain from Your Couch
If you stumble upon a nasty looking stain on your couch, I am sure that you will be overwhelmed with several emotions: surprise, horror, anger, sheer panic! But don’t fall in despair just yet – there is a good chance to remove that ugly looking stain from your favourite couch. Lucky for you, I have years and years of practice in the professional cleaning and home support industry and I am sure that my clever tips will help you with removing that stain. So let us roll up our sleeves and remove that nasty stain, shall we?
You’d be really lucky if you caught the stain while it is still fresh – now is the time to act! It would be great if the upholstery of your couch is made of leather – the stain will come out very easily. However, if the upholstery is made of cloth the situations becomes a little bit complicated. If you do not want to risk the well being of the couch your best options is to book professional cleaning services in London and have that stain removed by an expert. On the other hand, if you think that you can handle the situation on your own – here is what you have to do. If the stain is still fresh you better blot the excess liquid/substance with paper towels or some old expendable cloth. It is very important not scrub while you’re blotting – the scrubbing will only work the stain deeper into the fibres of the upholstery and this is highly undesirable.
Now that you’ve blot most of the stain, it is time to properly clean and sanitise the affected area. Your next obvious problem is what cleaning solution you should choose. Well, if the stain turns out to be dog or cat urine, you must know not to use ammonia on it. It will make the stench even stronger. On the other hand, you have very strong ally in the face of vinegar. Vinegar is not only a great sanitiser but also it is well know for leaving different surfaces odourless after treatment. Prepare a home-made cleaning of equal parts of lukewarm water and white vinegar. For a finishing touch you can add a teaspoon of liquid soap.
Apply the cleaning solution on the affected area, scrub, blot, repeat! On the other hand, almost every other stain can be cleaned with a simple solution made of water and liquid soap. However, if the stain is of unknown origin and you don’t have the slightest clue how to clean it, it would be wise of you to schedule professional cleaning services in London. Otherwise, you might ruin the upholstery of your couch while trying to clean it.
