Microfiber is not only an attractive and comfortable alternative to leather or typical fabrics, but also one of the easiest materials to clean and maintain for a number of reasons. It has completely changed the way people are taking care of their Living Rooms and sofas. However, how to clean microfiber furniture has been a question plaguing homeowners.
Microfiber is a man-made, synethetic material that has microscopic fibers which repel many liquids and stains. It is a non-abrasive, lint-free and hypoallergenic material, making the best choice for many homes.
Common household products may contain some form of bleach or fabric softeners, which can break down the micro-fibers or clog them, making them less effective with each cleaning.
Cleaning Your Microfiber Furniture
For general microfiber furniture cleaning, a drop or two of mild detergent, like dish soap or laundry detergent, combined with a bit of water should clean your microfiber sofa in no time.
Odors like urine can be easily eliminated by blotting the stain with white vinegar and distilled water, applying baking soda, then vacuuming. For the most part, cleaning will be an easy process if it is true microfiber.
To clean lint from your sofa, a sticky lint roller is the best option.
Vacuuming regularly will help ensure that your microfiber stays dust-free and helps increase the life of your cushions.
