A stain on the sofa is not a reason to panic — but also not a reason to grab the first thing under the sink. Here's when you can handle it yourself and when to call for professional dry-cleaning.
1When you can handle it yourself
Fresh water, tea, or coffee stains — blot with a napkin and wipe with a damp cloth. A mild soapy solution works fine for light soiling.
2When you need a professional
Set-in stains, wine or blood marks, pet odors, dust mites — all of these require professional equipment and specialized cleaning agents.
3What not to do
Don't use bleach, and don't scrub the stain — you'll spread it. Don't soak the sofa with water — it causes mold inside the cushions. Don't use untested DIY remedies from the internet.
4How often to clean your furniture
We recommend a professional dry clean every 6–12 months. If you have children or pets at home — every 3–6 months.
