All you need is your favourite fabric softener and some boiling water.

Simply add a cap-full of fabric softener into a bowl and top it up with boiling water, so the softener is diluted.

Use a sponge and rub the diluted fabric conditioner on your sofa, chairs and those stubborn skirting boards.

Just be sure to thoroughly squeeze your sponge or cloth out so the sofa fabric doesn’t get too wet.
