When you clean your house, water is an integral part of your routine. It is inconceivable for you to do without it. But be aware that other products you use can also harm your furniture, especially your sofa. If the fabric is not spoiled, it can smell very bad. These are not smells of cold tobacco, socks or sweat, but smells of mould.
If your sofa has a removable cover, it will be easy to remove it and wash it by machine or hand. It will dry in the open and will only smell clean.
But in case your sofa does not have this famous removable cover and you are forced to clean it, the products used are of paramount importance. Some people use conventional detergents to remove stains embedded in the fabric of their sofas, but this is a mistake. Laundry products, detergents and softeners are supposed to be rinsed and require the use of large quantities of water. It is out of the question to pour water on the couch, as it could give off an unbearable odour due to the accumulation of moisture inside its padding, resulting in the formation of germs and bacteria. Persistent odours could spread throughout the house.
