How to clean your fabric sofa with baking soda?
Let's go through the process step by step. You'll be amazed at how easy it is!
1. Preparation is half the battle
Do you have a sofa to clean? Before you get started enthusiastically, a small precaution is in order. First test on an inconspicuous spot to make sure that your sofa does not show any strange reaction. Safety first! Of course, using baking soda is not without risks and it is of course not the intention to remove the fabric of your sofa from the sofa. Of course, your sofa must remain intact once the stains have been removed from the sofa.
Next, grab your vacuum cleaner. Give your couch a good scrubbing to remove any loose dirt. Think of those crumbs from your last Netflix marathon! This will also help to to combat bad odors and this way you avoid having to live with a smelly sofa later on.
2. Dry cleaning: The basis for a fresh sofa
Now comes the fun part. Sprinkle baking soda liberally over your couch, as if you were dusting a delicious cake with powdered sugar. Be careful with the amount of baking soda, because cleaning with baking soda also means paying close attention. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes. If you have the time, let it sit overnight for extra effect.
Gently rub the powder in with a soft brush. Imagine that you are giving your sofa a gentle massage. Finally, vacuum it all up. Voilà! Your sofa already smells fresher.
3. Wet cleaning: For those stubborn stains
Sometimes we need a little extra power. Make a paste of baking soda and water. Apply to the stain and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Rub gently with a soft brush and wipe with a damp cloth. Repeat as needed. It’s like a face mask for your sofa!
