Work technique

Steam furniture cleaning easily removes dirt from all surfaces of the house: upholstered furniture, windows, curtains, floors, polished surface, etc. Steam generators for cleaning from Karcher, Gorenje, Klatronik, and Redmond have proven themselves well on the market. A branded steam cleaner is not cheap, but with its help you can save time, effort, and the quality of cleaning will only please you.

Cleaning polished and other surfaces with a Karcher steam cleaner is as follows:

• water is poured into the tank and heated;
• a jet of steam is applied to the contaminated surface through a nozzle;
• The dirt softens so much that it can be easily removed with a cloth without the use of cleaning agents.

Despite the convenience of steam cleaners, before removing stains from velor, leather upholstery, or soft plastic items, you need to consult with the manufacturer: not every steam generator from Karcher, Gorenje, Clatronic or other companies can be used for this type of coating.

Cushioned furniture

When it comes to cleaning furniture at home, upholstered furniture occupies a special place. It is on it that dust constantly collects, it gets dirty very easily, is difficult to clean, greasy stains often turn out to be so difficult to remove that not every professional product can cope with them. To make your work easier, it is very important to know how to properly care for upholstered furniture.

When starting to clean furniture, regardless of whether the upholstery is made of fabric, leather or another material, it is necessary to take into account that any cleaning agent must first be tested on an inconspicuous area: this will make it possible to determine whether it will discolor the fabric. If no traces remain, you can start cleaning at home.

You need to start cleaning furniture with minimal doses of disinfectant powder, gradually increasing the amount of cleaning agent. It is not recommended to mix different drugs with each other, nor to use them in turn to get rid of the same stain. If the instructions for caring for upholstery at home allow it, you can use a vacuum cleaner or clean the furniture with steam using a Karcher, Gorenje, Clatronic, Redmond steam cleaner.

If you don’t have a washing vacuum cleaner or steam cleaner, instead of dry vacuuming, you can use a wet sheet and remove dust much more effectively. To do this, you need to dissolve two tablespoons of vinegar and salt in a liter of water, then soak a sheet in the solution, spread it on the sofa and beat it well using a carpet beater. When soiled, rinse the sheet in the solution.

How exactly to clean more serious stains depends on the type of stain and the type of upholstery, but the sooner you start cleaning, the easier it is to remove the stain.

For velor, velvet, jacquard and tapestry, only the dry cleaning method can be used. At the same time, velor and velvet cannot be vacuumed: since the pile can be damaged, only a dry or wet brush for upholstered furniture can be used. Jacquard and tapestry can be vacuumed; to clean the upholstery, you can use foam by dissolving a special product in water; wash only as a last resort.

To leather furniture did not lose its appearance, it is enough to regularly wipe it with a damp cloth, and then wipe it dry. Stains from leather furniture must be removed immediately before they are absorbed. After cleaning, it is advisable to polish the coating with a special product to protect it from dust and dirt. If you don't have a polishing agent, you can beat the egg white and saturate the leather surface. Microfiber and flock are very easy to clean, you can use either a brush or washing vacuum cleaner.

If you don’t have chemicals on hand to remove stubborn stains, you can make the cleaning agent yourself, but keep in mind that when using products that can discolor the upholstery, the solution must first be applied to a small area:

Coffee Tea	Dilute detergent in a liter of water, add two tablespoons of vinegar, wet the sponge, rub the dirty area and dry with a dry cloth.

A removable cover makes the process of cleaning upholstered furniture at home much easier: if there is a stain on it or to refresh its appearance, just remove it and wash it. In this case, you can usually wash it either by hand or in a washing machine. When the cover is slightly damp, you need to pull it onto the furniture and leave it to dry.

Good owners have upholstered furniture that is always clean and unshabby, and ideally looks like new, even after years of use. I will tell you in this article how to clean upholstered furniture at home in the most affordable, effective, and also non-aggressive ways.

Home cleaning chairs and sofas can be done using two methods: with or without special household chemicals. We can easily remove many stains ourselves. And only in desperate cases will dry cleaning help.

Let's look at what needs to be taken into account when working:

• We choose a cleaning product for upholstered furniture based on the type of upholstery, type of contamination and how old it is. I will talk about each one specifically below.
• Some upholstery materials require exceptionally delicate care. The instructions for the purchased furniture will inform you about this.
• We wash the removable covers with powder and some even in the washing machine. But let’s also clarify what temperatures the fabric can withstand, and what washing mode will not damage it or deform the shape of the covers of sofas and armchairs. Of course it's safer handwash gentle powders.

• Before using any product (even specially developed by manufacturers), you need to check it in an inconspicuous place. upholstery fabric. For example, on the bottom of furniture. Dampen a cotton napkin in the solution and rub the fabric, and after drying, decide whether to remove dirt or experiment with other compositions.

• There will be no streaks on the cladding unless you combine industrial and home products.

• After the coating has dried, we will collect the remaining product with a vacuum cleaner. However, a universal steam cleaner will help you clean quickly.

Dry wash

When cleaning at home with a vacuum cleaner, follow important rules, which will preserve the upholstery fabric.

• At the beginning or at the end of the process, the vacuum cleaner should only operate at minimum power.
• If he pulls the upholstery of upholstered furniture into the nozzle, it will quickly fray. And velvet, velor from a vacuum cleaner can become disheveled.

• We remove individual elements (backrests, armrests), vacuum cleaner and wipe them separately.
• Dry cleaning will be of high quality if you use a steam cleaner for disinfection at the end.

Traditional wet cleansing

A washing vacuum cleaner will quickly do this job. But even without it you can clean dirt and dust.

• If you don’t have a special solution or powder on hand, make a cleaning soap solution from liquid or laundry soap.
• Clean the upholstery itself with a cotton cloth moistened with this composition. After all, then the dirt from the upholstery will remain on the napkin, and will not flow with this soap solution deep into the sofa.
• Wash the napkin under running water several times - it depends on the degree of contamination.

By the way, exactly like this traditional method with dissolved soap will remove many stains, and even stains from baby urine on fabric that can be moistened. Also, this always available composition instantly eliminates fresh stains.

Folk remedies and affordable methods for removing any stains

If there are children or allergy sufferers in the house, then household chemicals Let's replace it with homemade folk remedies.

• Candle wax stains. Carefully scrape off the hardened wax without damaging the upholstery. Then cover with a paper towel or napkin and iron with a warm iron.

• Wine stains. Remove fresh stains from red wine with salt. The liquid will be absorbed into it, and not into the upholstery of a chair or sofa. Then we wipe the fabric with an alcohol or vodka solution several times, changing the napkins.

• Sticky chewing gum. We peel it off from the casing and cool it with ice from the freezer. Wrap the ice cubes in plastic bag so as not to wet the canvas. And carefully scrape off the remains of the elastic, fragile from the cold.

• Sweet products, tea, coffee Simply remove with warm water and any non-aggressive (chlorine-free) detergent. However, there is no need to saturate the fabric. We just blot it repeatedly with a dampened napkin and immediately remove the moisture with a dry one.

We always treat any stains from the edges to the center. Then the area of ​​pollution will not increase!

• Traces of beer On upholstered furniture, it is also possible to eliminate it with your own hands with a regular soap solution. And then wipe them with diluted vinegar (1:5) to eliminate the smell.

After wet processing We dry the upholstery stains with a hairdryer - this is faster, and the hot air will remove moisture from the furniture filling.

• From stains fruit juice A mixture of ammonia, vinegar and water (1:1:2) will help. Apply it to the stain itself and let it dry. Then we wash off the dirt with a wet cloth.

• Traces of blood quickly rinse with cool water with aspirin (1 tablet in a glass) or salt (30 g per liter).

• We will collect the urine with a napkin. A wet trail We will treat it with a gel composition for carpets or liquid soap.

• Dried cream, fat, plasticine First we clean it from the fabric with a brush and soda. And then we moisten the mark and sprinkle it with salt - it absorbs fat without special means.

Salt, chalk and soda only act on fresh, damp stains. Dried stains must be moistened before such treatment.

General cleaning with vinegar

The vinegar-salt solution is effective, but safe way cleaning all contaminated products. Although we can prepare a more aggressive drug from the same components. It will not only remove local stains, but will return freshness to the sofa, and will get rid of dust no worse than a vacuum cleaner.

• Dissolve 50 g of vinegar and salt in a liter of water.
• Soak and wring out the sheet in this solution.
• Then we cover the sofa with it and beat it with our hands.
• All dirt will end up on a damp sheet, which can be easily washed in a machine. And this way we can also rid it of dust without a vacuum cleaner.

Universal professional products

The versatility of special detergents is to clean all dirt on any upholstery fabric. They will save us time, money and the product itself.

Cleansing foam

The popular washing foam will perfectly restore the freshness of capricious fabrics without moisturizing them:

• We apply it only by shaking the bottle.
• Wipe the treated area with a rag.
• If the stain is still noticeable, leave the foam for 15 minutes and rub again (you can use a brush).
• Then remove with a vacuum cleaner or dry wipes.

We can make a similar product from bubble bath plus shampoo (1:1). But only without oils in the composition and the indication “moisturizing” - they form a film. Beat the mixture with a mixer. When the mass becomes dense, its minimum amount of water will no longer penetrate inside the sofa.

Powders and cleaning products

Professional dry cleaning at home will be provided by powder detergents for cleaning upholstered furniture. So we use the powder:

• Pre-clean the furniture with a vacuum cleaner;
• Sprinkle evenly and rub in the powdered product;
• let's go rest for 20 minutes;
• remove the powder with a vacuum cleaner.

It’s even easier with a cleaning agent: spray, wipe with a brush. All!

Cleaning depending on the type of upholstery

Let's re-read the instructions for caring for the furniture we are going to process in advance. Then cleaning upholstered furniture at home will be safe and effective.

A steam cleaner will restore the cleanliness of the product, disinfect the fabric and even the filling.

It will clean suede and velor well. And when processing viscose and especially silk, it is necessary to test locally first.

Wipe natural and artificial leather with a dry cloth. And we will wipe off the remaining stains with very diluted vodka.

Velor, flock, and chenille are more often used for lining. After all, they are more practical and easier to care for. And it’s easier to clean upholstered furniture with such upholstery.

We remove the fat from them with a soapy microfiber cloth. An alcohol solution will remove cosmetics and ink. Moisten coffee and wine stains and rub with powder.

Silk is capricious, so let’s put aside both chemicals and a steam cleaner. It’s better to take a soft clothes brush, wrap it in a white cotton cloth and clean the stain, slightly moistening it with a weak solution of alcohol or peroxide.

Dry cleaning is sufficient for suede. And the foam will get rid of persistent marks on it. But then we will restore the volume of dry pile with a rubber brush.

We wash the greasy surface

Shiny dark spots on the upholstery appear from constant touching of hands, head, and feet. They are formed by dust and sebum.

• On substitutes and natural leather upholstery, we will remove them with a sponge dampened with diluted dish soap or with a homemade soap and soda mixture.
• We hold the foam on the tapestry coverings for 5 minutes, and then remove it with a brush. Blot first with a damp cloth, then with a dry cloth. After this, we clean the entire product to blur the boundaries of the treated area.
• Clean shiny, fluffy items with a foam sponge and upholstery cleaner.

Fighting unpleasant odor

Any furniture at home is saturated with odors. Special shampoos are produced to remove them.

I suggest homemade remedy from amber:

• Remove the smell of beer, juice, urine with diluted vinegar (50g per liter of water). But we only wet the napkin with which we cover the stained area.
• Let's press it down so that the solution even wets the flooring material.
• After 2-5 repetitions, let the sofa dry.
• The smell of vinegar disappears in a maximum of 3 days. Although you can add aromatic diluted fabric softener.

Rules for caring for chipboard furniture Rule #1

Many manufacturers claim that chipboard is not afraid of moisture, so furniture products can be washed many times, but you should still not get carried away with this process, since if moisture gets on the wooden components of the board, the chipboard will swell and deformation cannot be avoided, even if the material is thoroughly dried. Remember that chipboard and water are not compatible, especially if the integrity of the decorative or protective coating, as a result of which water comes into contact with wood chips, which are the main component of chipboard.

Rule #2

It is recommended to remove dust from furniture with a dry soft cloth made of flannel or suede; do not use lint sponges or a scraper - they can damage the surface and ruin the appearance of the furniture. As a preventative measure, sometimes you should wipe furniture with special antistatic agents, since dry dust removal leads to electrification of the surface, which is the main reason for attracting dust.

Rule #3

If dirt appears on furniture, experts recommend removing heavy dirt with a soap solution and then wiping the surface dry. You can also use wet wipes.

When caring for chipboard furniture, it is strictly prohibited: 1) Use aggressive chemical reagents, solvents.
2) It is unacceptable to use special products for the care of natural wood - polishes, mastic or wax, as they can lead to a change in the color of the film covering the material and its deformation. But if you still decide to use chemicals, before use, read the instructions and determine for which materials they are suitable. 3) Do not use abrasive detergents. For example, clean the surface with soda.

Despite the fact that chipboard furniture does not lose its attractiveness over the years and has high quality, she needs careful care. By following the rules for caring for chipboard furniture, you will be able to maintain the presentable appearance and original external characteristics of the furniture for many years.
