Dear readers, have you ever encountered such a problem: the child at home accidentally drew a stroke with a colored pen on the leather sofa, making the originally beautiful sofa "miserable"?Don't worry, today I'm going to share with you a few simple ways to easily clean the traces of colored pencils on your leather sofa and give your sofa a brand new look!
1. Understand the material of leather sofa.
Before we start cleaning, we need to understand the material of the sofa. Generally speaking, leather sofas are divided into two materials: leather and artificial leather. Sofas made of different materials also have different precautions when cleaning.
2. Choose the right cleaning tools and detergents.
Cleaners: For leather sofas, we recommend using cleaners specifically designed for leather sofas, such as leather cleaning cream, leather cleaning liquid, etc. For leatherette sofas, we can use ordinary cleaners and rags.
Cleaning tools: soft rags, sponges, cotton swabs, etc.
3. Cleaning steps.
Use a clean cloth to wipe off the dust and dirt on the surface of the sofa.
For smaller pen marks, we can use a cotton swab dipped in an appropriate amount of leather cleaning paste or cleaning solution to gently wipe the pen marks. Pay attention to the strength when wiping to avoid excessive wiping that causes fluffing on the leather surface.
For larger marks, we can dip a sponge into an appropriate amount of leather cleaning paste or cleaning solution and gently wipe the surface of the sofa. Wipe clean with a clean cloth.
For more stubborn colored pen marks, we can use a cotton swab dipped in an appropriate amount of alcohol or wind oil essence to gently wipe the surface of the sofa. However, it should be noted that alcohol and wind oil essence may cause damage to the surface of the sofa, so use it with caution.
Finally, wipe the entire surface of the sofa with a clean cloth to ensure that the surface is clean and free of residue.
4. Preventive measures.
When children use colored pens at home, we can spread some paper or carpet on the sofa in advance to prevent the colored pencils from drawing directly on the sofa.
For naughty children, we can teach them to cherish furniture and make them understand that graffiti on the sofa is a bad behavior.
Maintain the leather sofa regularly, such as using moisturizing lotions, leather maintenance liquids, etc., to prolong the life of the sofa.
5. Precautions.
When cleaning the surface of the sofa, do not use excessively rough rags or sponges to avoid damage to the surface of the sofa.
For older sofas, a local test can be carried out before washing to ensure that no damage is caused to the sofa.
When using detergents, use them correctly according to the instructions to avoid adverse consequences caused by misuse.
If you are not sure how to properly clean your leather sofa, it is recommended to consult a professional or the manufacturer's after-sales service.
