Before treating any stains, start by vacuuming the surface.
Use an upholstery attachment for mattresses, furniture, and armchairs to remove dust, crumbs, and debris.
A clean surface ensures that the stain removal solution can penetrate and work more effectively.
Step 2: Identify the Stain Type
Different stains require different approaches. Common culprits include:
Water-based stains (juice, coffee, wine): These can be treated with a mild detergent and water.
Oil-based stains (grease, body oils): These often need a degreaser or baking soda to absorb the oil.
Protein stains (blood, sweat, urine): Enzymatic cleaners or a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and dish soap work best.
Step 3: Prepare the Cleaning Solution
General Stain Remover:
Mix 2 cups of warm water with 1 teaspoon of dish soap and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar.
For Tough Stains:
Combine 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide with 1 tablespoon of dish soap and 1 tablespoon of baking soda.
Natural Alternative:
Use lemon juice and salt for light stains.
Apply a paste of water and baking soda, let it sit, and then vacuum it off.
Step 4: Blot, Don’t Rub
