6 Rules for Removing Stains from a Light-Colored Sofa: They Will Deal with Any Dirt – and Leave No Trace
Light upholstered furniture certainly looks impressive. Sofas and armchairs with leatherette upholstery are especially popular.
The reason for such increased love is probably due to the practicality and ease of care of the material: most stains from leatherette and eco-leather can be removed with soap.
But there are also stains that may require additional effort from the furniture owner.
Below we will list the most common types of pollution and tell you how to get rid of them.
1. Food stains such as grease and chocolate can be removed with a dishwashing detergent labeled "Anti-grease" or laundry soap.
2. Citric acid or hydrogen peroxide will help remove stains from berries and grass.
3. Blood should be washed off with cold water immediately after contact, and old stains can be treated with a cotton pad and ammonia.
4. Nail polish, acrylic paint and brilliant green can be removed with nail polish remover.
5. Chewing gum and plasticine are removed with a gauze swab, and alcohol should be used to “eliminate” the remaining traces.
6. Gouache and watercolor paint can be washed off with liquid soap and a melamine sponge, and oil paint can be removed with turpentine.
