Micro fibre sofas are all the rage these days. They are long lasting, beautiful in their aesthetic appeal and have a nice finish. Here are some ways to clean such sofas optimally.   Manufacturer instructions   One of the first things you need to do is to read the instructions provided by the micro fibre manufacturer. If they have stated not to use certain products on the micro fibre material or if there are any specific instructions or warnings, ensure that you follow these. Following these instructions will ensure that you do not inadvertently damage your sofa.   Vacuuming   The next thing you need to do is use a vacuum cleaner with a high power capacity to clean the micro fibre sofa. By vacuuming the sofa surface, you are cleaning it of all pet hair, dust and debris. Depending on how hectic your lifestyle is, the schedule of vacuuming will also differ. Most people tend to vacuum their micro fibre sofas once in a month. However, if you have pets at home or small children, the frequency of vacuuming would need to be more often.   Treating spillage   If your micro fibre sofa has a spill on it, it is important to treat it immediately. You can use a terry cloth to blot out the stain. Make sure you do not scrub or rub it too much. You should follow up by using a solution comprising water and detergent. Use the solution to wash out the spot and do not rub the area. Never use bleach in conjunction with laundry agents as they can cause discolouration in the fabric.   No carpet cleaning machines   It is important that you do not use any machines for carpet cleaning on the micro fibre sofa. It can result in shrinkage of fabric as well as wrinkling. It is best to entrust cleaning of your micro fibre sofa to a professional cleaner as they are specialised in this job.
