How to remove various stains from the sofa: useful tips

When it comes to keeping your sofa stain-free, understanding the best cleaning methods is crucial. UAportal has collected various effective tips on how to deal with this problem.

Removing coffee stains

If coffee is accidentally spilled on the sofa, the first thing to do is to immediately blot the area with a clean cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Then you can mix a teaspoon of mild liquid soap with a cup of water and gently blot the contaminated area.

The next step is to rinse off the soap mixture with a clean, damp cloth and pat dry with a towel. For stubborn coffee stains, we recommend using a commercial upholstery cleaner.
