3 Sofa Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid in Nairobi Homes (And What to Do Instead)

Many Nairobi homeowners try DIY sofa cleaning — only to damage their upholstery or worsen stains. Here are the top mistakes to avoid, and how professional sofa cleaning near you can save your furniture.

Mistake #1: Using Too Much Water

Over-wetting fabric leads to mold, mildew, and prolonged drying — especially in Nairobi’s humid climate. Always use low-moisture methods or steam extraction with proper extraction.

Mistake #2: Applying Harsh Chemicals

Bleach, vinegar, or dish soap can discolor fabric, weaken fibers, and leave toxic residues. Use pH-balanced, eco-friendly cleaners designed for upholstery.

Mistake #3: Ignoring Deep-Seated Allergens

Vacuuming only removes surface dirt. Dust mites, pet dander, and bacteria live deep in cushions — requiring professional hot water extraction to eliminate.
