Your Sofa Is Dirtier Than a Public Bathroom — Here’s How to Clean It

The Gross Truth About Couch Hygiene

Here’s what the average couch contains (source: science, not fear):

• 67x more bacteria than a toilet seat

• Dust mites that feed on your dead skin cells

• Food crumbs + drink spills + God knows what from last weekend

• And let’s not even talk about pet hair if you’ve got a dog

Your body, your lungs, and your immune system are dealing with that daily.

But because it looks clean, most people assume they’re good.

They’re not.

How Often Should You Actually Clean Your Sofa?

Let’s get specific:

🧽 Surface cleaning = Every 1–2 weeks

Vacuum crevices, spot clean stains, and remove dust/pet hair.

🧼 Deep cleaning = Every 3–6 months

Steam clean, shampoo, or professionally treat the fabric.

🦠 Emergency cleaning = Instantly

Wine spills, bodily fluids, food drops — no waiting.

If you’re not doing all three, you’re living in denial.

 

How to Clean Sofa Fabrics Without Ruining Them

Different sofas need different methods. Screw it up and your expensive couch turns into a water-stained regret.

Here’s a cheat sheet:

For Bouclé, Velvet, and Linen:

• Use a fabric-safe foam cleanser

• Dab, never rub

• Air dry — never blast it with heat

For Leather:

• Wipe with a microfiber cloth

• Use conditioner to prevent cracking

• Avoid harsh chemicals — they age the material fast

For Stains:

• Blot ASAP (speed is everything)

• Use vinegar + water mix or enzyme-based cleaner

• If it smells, it’s already too late — deep clean it

 

Why Most Sofa Cleaning Services Aren’t Worth It

Let’s be real.

Most “professional” sofa cleaning services in Australia are glorified steamers. They overcharge, leave your sofa damp, and bounce before it’s even dry.

They’re one-off hustles, not maintenance.

You don’t need a stranger with a van every 6 months — you need a system.

 

That’s Why We Made Dorsa Maxi — The Sofa Cleaning Service Built Different

You didn’t just buy a couch. You bought a piece of your identity.
Dorsa Maxi exists to protect that investment.

✅ Free lifetime cleaning with every eligible Dorsa sofa
✅ Book online in seconds — no awkward calls
✅ Done by our in-house team — no outsourcing, no BS
✅ Includes full inspection + maintenance report

This isn’t a gimmick. It’s standard for people who expect more.
Because of course your $4,000 sofa should come with a care plan. Anything less is disrespectful.

 

Why Sofa Hygiene = Self-Respect

Think about it.

You clean your bedsheets.
You wash your clothes.
You shower daily (I hope).

So why the hell are you sitting on a biohazard you haven’t touched in 8 months?

Your space reflects your standards. And if you’ve worked hard to level up — your home should prove it.
