welcome back to Andrea Jean cleaning today we are gonna be starting with
cleaning this micro fiber couch that's here in my office it is so disgusting I
don't know if the cameras gonna pick it up or not but this color just absorbs so
much especially down here with all the dust and we're gonna take everything off
here and we're gonna be cleaning this with rubbing alcohol I have it here in
this bottle right here if you do have a bottle of rubbing alcohol in fact any
nozzle would fit directly on that but I just had the spare bottle laying around
so this is what I'm going to be using and this is 70% alcohol now I'm also
gonna be using this little rag here let's take a peek at it because I want
to see if we can tell at the end how much dirt we're gonna get picked up we
got lint stuck to there now but I got these or got this at the dollar tree and
the rubbing alcohol I got from my neighbor she kindly lent that to me I
actually have a whole video about 15 different ways to clean and sanitize
with rubbing alcohol so I will have that linked in a playlist in the description
box below I have over 20 videos about how to clean almost anything in your
house we're gonna do this one first and then we're gonna move upstairs I have a
giant sectional that gets tons of love from my three kids and company and we're
gonna be using baking soda for that one and that one the baking soda is going to
help remove and eliminate odors and it's gonna help loosen up any stains that I
have but this rubbing alcohol is really going to be used to help clean and
disinfect so let's get to it if we are not friends on Instagram make sure you
hit me up at Andrew Jean Co I teach women how to turn their passions into
profits and this cleaning channel is one way and then I do that let's get to
cleaning I'm just gonna start by getting all these pillows off and then we are
gonna spray the couch very generously with this
rubbing alcohol and then I'm going to prop you up on my tri pads so that you
can see an action the goodness that is about to transform but I want you to get
a really good look on how much I'm gonna be spraying on here and again I'm going
to be pretty generous now I've never had rubbing alcohol ruin any of my furniture
particularly microfiber I will say use at your own
because if something happens I don't want you to say add Regine told you this
but I've never had any issues and I've done this plenty of times before like I
said I have three kids one on the way and things just get stingy and dirty and
even though we don't eat on our furniture you know their little hands
just pick up stuff and I would say open a window if you are gonna be using this
method because the alcohol can be a little bit intense at first but it does
dissipate pretty quickly let's get down here to down here often gets missed and
backs of heels or shoes or whatnot get on there
but yeah be sure to check out that other video about other 15 other uses that I
have used rubbing alcohol 4c that's pretty pretty good there okay now I'm
going to get to scrubbing
okay I am feeling better about that already now you notice the spots on here
I'm gonna let this dry completely we're gonna come back because you are going to
be amazed so what I did is I just said circular motions to help lift up
anything and then I went like all in the same direction like this because as you
know with microfiber it just looks better when you smooth it all out but
I'm gonna give it about 15 minutes let this completely dry out and then we'll
come back and take a peek so here is my giant sectional I got this at Ashley
Furniture about two years ago and we love it and again we don't eat out here
very rarely but it just gets sturdy with kids and whatnot so what I'm going to do
is I'm going to take this baking soda well our microfiber couch is completely
drying downstairs and I'm going to generously put this all over the couch
and then I'm gonna let it sit for 20 minutes I'm gonna take all those pillows
off and what this is gonna do is it's going to deodorize it so if you have
pets anything really it's gonna help lift the smell and help with any stains
help lift any stains now it's not necessarily gonna remove stains with
just straight baking soda but it will help do a little extra to get it started
so let's get this going we're gonna pour it all over and then let it sit for 20
minutes
so it's been sitting for about 20 minutes here and as you can see it's
fully saturated in there it's not perfect by any means we're not gonna
like get crazy about it after all this is cleaning and organizing for all you
bid is these ladies and busy folks but this is what I would do next time that I
do this so I have this garlic here obviously I'm not going to put garlic on
my couch but when this runs out or I would transfer it I would just put the
baking soda in here and use this now if you have some other contraption or some
other kitchen device that you could use to sprinkle it I would try that as well
and the next thing that I would probably do next time I do this maybe put a glove
on because all the rubbing I mean this couch is pretty massive made my hand
like just a tiny bit dry I mean and that's minor that's just minor stuff
right here but I would try something like this next time so next thing we're
going to do is we're gonna vacuum this all up I'll give you a picture of what
it looks like after and then we're gonna head back downstairs and check out our
microfiber cloth with the rubbing alcohol
okay we are all done now this is just a super quick way to remove those odors I
don't know about you if but if you've been gone from your house for a while
and you come back sometimes you may get a real sense of what your house smells
like to other people because you've been a gone in a way and I think we get
accustomed sometimes to the smells because we live in it but this is an
excellent excellent easy way to really spruce things up and make it smell a lot
better now when I clean my house again no I'm sorry I'm out of breath I'm 26
weeks pregnant doing this most coaches have some sort of zipper
system like this and again I got this Ashley Furniture and I love the quality
of it but what I will do is I will completely take all of these covers off
and then wash them and let them air dry to make them smell even even better but
this is just a super quick way to make everything just smell very very nice
okay let's head back downstairs we're going to check on that microfiber couch
the moment of truth let's take a peek at our Cochise
oh yeah it just looks whiter and brighter yes yes very satisfied super
super easy I know if it was just any sort of mild spots I just took a wet
cloth and wiped over them and smooth down the microfiber so I would highly
recommend rubbing alcohol on your microfiber to disinfect help with any
smells and just make it look like new again if you're new here give the video
