Help! There's milk spilled on my couch
Did you just spill milk on your couch? Don't worry! As professional furniture cleaners, we see this every day and we are happy to help you. The most important thing is that you act quickly.
Direct approach for fresh stains
We recommend these steps for fresh milk stains:
- Immediately grab a clean terry towel
- Dab gently with lukewarm water (do not rub!)
- Start at the outside edge of the stain and work inward
“As a cleaning specialist, I often see people start rubbing in panic. This only spreads the milk stain further. Dabbing calmly is the key to success.” – Mark from Randstad Meubelreiniging
