My friends can’t believe how my old sofa still looks brand new! 🛋✨ The secret? A simple yet effective trick that keeps upholstery spotless without expensive cleaners 😉🔥 Everyone is amazed by the results! Want to know how I do it? 🤭😌 Check out the details in the article! 👇
Nowadays, there are plenty of upholstery cleaners available—sprays, liquids, foams—all designed to handle stains effectively. But there’s an old trick that people used 40–50 years ago, and once I tried it, I never switched to anything else. My upholstered furniture still looks as good as new!
The secret lies in a simple product that almost every man has—shaving foam.
Some might remember those Soviet-era tubes of shaving foam and classic aftershaves. Back then, housewives often “borrowed” them from their husbands, using shaving foam not just for cleaning glass and mirrors—especially in bathrooms to prevent fogging—but also for refreshing upholstered furniture.
The method was simple. The foam was applied in a thin layer over the furniture, left for 15–20 minutes, and then wiped off with a soft cotton or knitted cloth. Some even used a shoe brush before vacuuming the surface.
Modern shaving foam is even more convenient. Just shake the can, spray the foam evenly on the fabric, and spread it with a brush or sponge. For deep stains, leave it for 1–2 hours. If you clean your furniture regularly, 15–20 minutes is enough. Afterward, wipe the surface with a brush or sponge and finish by vacuuming.
If you’re worried about cost, don’t be—basic shaving foam works just as well as the expensive ones. Look for a simple, universal foam without labels like “for sensitive skin” or “with additives.” The simpler the formula, the better it cleans.
