The sofas are made of textile fibers with a porous structure. That is why they absorb all pollution like a sponge. They can also be a great place for the development of mites. There is no doubt that they should be cleaned regularly, just like blankets or. It will do without spending money if you reach for products from the kitchen cabinet.
Hardly anyone would think that you can clean the sofa … with a pot, but this trick really works. We still need to remove the microfiber cloth from the kitchen cabinet and bring the washing capsule from the bathroom. What next?
At the beginning we dissolve the washing capsule in a bowl of hot water. Then we soak a microfiber cloth in it and imprint it from excess water.
In the next step we start cleaning the sofa. For this purpose, we stretch a damp cloth on the pot and secure it with a recipe elastic. A tool for cleaning large surfaces will then be created.
We begin to wipe the sofa with long and equal movements. The microfiber in a flash will collect all the dirt of the material – it will start to stick to it.
Finally, we leave the sofa to dry. Let’s take care of proper ventilation in the room, because this will prevent stains and mold.
Why does this trick work? Thanks to the tight cloth. In addition, the microfiber has thinner fibers than human hair, which is why it perfectly removes both dust and stains. In turn, long movements are comparable to those in the cleaning machine.
Sometimes it may happen that we will not have a washing capsule on hand. Instead, we can remove baking soda or citric acid from the kitchen cabinet.
In the first case We dissolve 3 tablespoons of baking soda in 1 cup of water. This powder neutralizes acids, absorbs an unpleasant smell and has an antibacterial effect. We also recommend adding a dozen or so drops of your favorite essential oil. In such a solution, soak the microfiber cloth and proceed to clean the sofa with a pot.
Citric acid will be useful for the more difficult to remove stains from the sofa. In this situation, we dissolve 1 tablespoon of powder in the middle of a glass of warm water and continue to do the same as in the case of a capsule or baking soda. Remember, however, not to use it in large quantities on dark materials, because it will discolor them.
To sum up, a trick with a pot lid can be used with various washing agents. Effect? The sofa will be clean and fragrant like after professional washing.
