There comes a time when the vacuum cleaner can no longer remove the stain on the beautiful upholstery. To begin with it is necessary to try the grandmother's recipes, which use a soap solution, ammonia, salt or vinegar. They are quite safe and all components are in your kitchen. But when these methods fail, then we can not do without a ready-made product for cleaning soft furniture in the form of solutions or powders from the department of household chemicals.
What means to clean upholstered furniture?
A lot in the choice of cleaning agent depends on the upholstery material. Smooth skin needs to be treated with completely different preparations, rather than flock or velor.

It is advisable to buy special sets, consisting of all the necessary components. They include not only the cleanser for upholstered furniture, but also a sponge, a napkin, additional protective solutions that prolong the life of your products.
