Expert Insights

Key Takeaways

  • Soaking causes internal wood damage and unpleasant mold odors.
  • Dry foam cleaning breaks down stains and extracts them without wetting the inner padding.
  • High-power extraction is the secret to removing deep dust from fabrics.
  • Detergent choice depends on the label code (W, S, WS, X).
  • Steam sanitization kills germs and bed bugs hidden in sofa folds.

The sofa is the heart of the living room. But with kids and events, it becomes prone to stains. The biggest mistake homeowners make is washing sofas with excessive water, leading to fabric damage and internal spring rust.

📋 Fabric Codes

Look for the label under cushions: (S) for solvent-only dry cleaning, (W) for water-based, and (X) for vacuum-only.
