Sofa and Carpet Cleaning in Al Barsha: Stains, Odours and Dust - Al Asfour Al Zahabi - 0588837818
How to look after the sofas and carpets in your Al Barsha apartment or villa: vacuuming properly, dealing with stains, removing odours, and when steam cleaning is the answer.
Why do sofas and carpets get dirty so quickly in Al Barsha?
Al Barsha is a mix of apartments and villas, home to lots of families with children. Sofas and carpets are exposed to food and drinks every day, and fine dust coming in through windows and the AC settles deep in the fibres. Over time the colour fades, the smell changes, and some stains set in if they're left.
Vacuuming properly is half the job
- Vacuum sofas with the upholstery nozzle from top to bottom, and lift the cushions to vacuum underneath, as that's where most crumbs and sand collect.
- Vacuum carpets in two perpendicular directions to reach the dust trapped between the fibres.
- Twice a week for high-traffic areas, and once a week for less-used rooms.
Dealing with stains quickly
- Coffee and tea: Blot up the liquid with a white tissue by pressing, not rubbing, then use lukewarm water with a little mild detergent.
- Oils and food residue: Sprinkle baking soda and leave it for 15 minutes to absorb the grease, then vacuum it up.
- Ink and cosmetics: Test the cleaner on a hidden corner first, as some products can pull the colour out of the fabric.
Before using any cleaner, check the label attached under the sofa: W means water can be used, S means dry solvents only, and X means vacuum only.
Odours: kids, pets and humidity
Odours usually come from inside the foam rather than the surface. Airing and baking soda help temporarily, but old odours need steam cleaning or wet extraction that reaches the inner layers and then pulls the water back out so the sofa dries quickly.
When do you need a deep clean?
- Roughly every 6 months for sofas and carpets used daily.
- After a family member has been ill, or if chest allergies keep recurring.
- Before special occasions, or when moving into a new home with second-hand furniture.
