How to clean a sofa with a washing vacuum cleaner?

Today it is quite possible to clean upholstered furniture at home without expensive chemicals. A special vacuum cleaner will help you out, with which you can keep your favorite armchairs, sofas, chairs and ottomans clean.

Units for cleaning furniture can be conditionally divided into 3 types: dust collectors (dry cleaning), washing vacuum cleaners, as well as devices that simultaneously perform dry and wet cleaning. The first ones do not perform deep cleaning, so we will consider in detail the other two options.

• Washing units will help in carrying out a thorough cleaning. They are able not only to remove the smallest lint from furniture, but also help get rid of various stains on the fabric upholstery, provide fresh air in the room. It must be admitted that these models are not cheap and are noisy during operation. A more compact option - an extractor - can be purchased exclusively for chemical cleaning of furniture. It has a special container for the cleaning solution and a vacuum attachment.
• Simultaneous cleaning units (dry and wet). Designed for perfect cleanliness, these models will remove all dirt particles, even invisible ones. Yes, cleaning will last longer with them, but the result will delight you.

In the 21st century, turbocharged separator vacuum cleaners with a high-speed motor and a flask of water, where polluted air is sucked in, appeared. Under the influence of high pressure created by the separator, the dirt is immersed in the liquid, and slightly humid purified air enters the room. It is so easy to work with them that even children can use them, and such models will last longer than their “brothers”.

Many people are primarily interested in size - not only because it is inconvenient to move around the room with a large vacuum cleaner, but also because there will be problems with its storage. So should you buy a large machine or a miniature model? Or maybe you should buy a compact handheld vacuum cleaner for cleaning furniture?

Small vacuum cleaners of well-known brands, tested over the years, will cope with functional tasks, but in addition, you still need a unit for regular cleaning, the cost of purchasing it will increase. Otherwise, all efforts to keep the furniture clean will be nullified due to the daily pollution that accumulates in the room.

Convenient and small vacuum cleaners of modern models for dry and wet cleaning will fit in a closet, closet. They do not need a lot of storage space, but they can be used to clean furniture surfaces and tidy up the house. If we talk about large units, then modern vacuum cleaners do not work as noisy as their predecessors, they are also more productive. Progress does not stand still, which is noticeable on household appliances. A decade ago, a vacuum cleaner was used only for cleaning carpets, but now they will help bring the fabric base on your favorite sofa back to normal, clean and humidify the air in the room.

Which cleaner to choose depends on the upholstery. It is better to use specialized compounds, then you can not be afraid to ruin the upholstery. It should be borne in mind that they are very concentrated, and therefore, before work, you should study the instructions for use. It is important to understand how much liquid should be poured into the container of the washing vacuum cleaner so that stains do not remain on the furniture.

Experienced housewives advise to reduce the amount of the chemical even from the portion suggested by the manufacturer. If you bought a high-quality cleaning compound, it will work anyway, even with a meager proportion (one teaspoon). When choosing a product, it is imperative to take into account the composition of the fabric or the material of the furniture upholstery, you can use universal shampoos, or you can choose special options based on the manufacturer's recommendations.

Having a washing vacuum cleaner, having chosen the right composition for cleaning, you can easily cope with the contamination of furniture on your own. Let's consider two of the most popular options.

Dry cleaning is the easiest way to quickly tidy the surface of your furniture, however, this is only a preparatory stage for deeper damp cleaning.

Dry cleaning with a vacuum cleaner will help to collect dust, lint from the surface, for this they use a thin nozzle, brushes are not needed here... Some vacuum cleaners come with special collections of pet hair.

Before wet cleaning, you need to decide on the detergent. Take Vanish, for example, which is perfect for cleaning upholstered furniture, removing stains and dirt from it. The technology for using this tool is simple:

• apply some Vanish to the surface;
• withstand the time according to the instructions;
• turn on the vacuum cleaner and clean the top;
• dry the upholstery.

Beforehand, it is advised to try the effect of the detergent on a piece of fabric on the back of the furniture to see how the fabric will "take" the detergent.
