Your sofa is where you probably spend most of your time in your home. We all love being couch potatoes, but it's no fun to lounge on a dirty sofa with crumbs, spilt soda, pet hair, dust and the general unclean look these things cause .

So we spoke to Khushi Todi, Interior Designer and Creative Director at Cane Boutique, for some of her best tips and tricks on cleaning and maintaining your sofa, so it always looks fresh and inviting. Cane Boutique is a luxury furniture and décor brand specialising in customising furniture and has over two decades of experience!

Khushi says, "The first thing I tell my clients is to get your fabric sofas, chairs or any piece of furniture with fabric, scotch guarded." This process forms a protective layer on your fabric, so it doesn't absorb stains and dirt easily. You can either get this done professionally or buy a spray and keep it handy when needed.

Consistency Is Key

It would be best to have a daily dry cloth dusting to keep the sofa fabric free of dirt and dust particles. This is probably one of the simplest and easiest ways to keep your sofas clean on an everyday basis.

The non-fabric parts of the sofa (wooden legs or the frame) are often not given the attention they deserve. Though they're pretty simple to tackle, just use a dry microfiber cloth to buff and clean.

Once your sofa is clean, use a fabric sanitising spray to kill bacteria and eliminate any bad odour. Also, before using any cleaners and appliances directly, test them on a hidden spot to ensure that it's safe for the couch and doesn't cause discolouration of the fabric.
