Cleaning tip: Lynsey Queen of Clean on how to spruce up a velvet sofa – ‘easiest to clean’

She advised a stiff brush to wipe away crumbs, dust, and debris.

Lynsey is a huge advocate of steaming furniture such as sofas for a deep clean, as hot steam kills bacteria from surfaces.

On the website, the expert said: “Hoover it daily and invest in a good upholstery cleaner or leather cleaner.”

“Yeah, just washing up liquid is the only thing you need on a velvet sofa.”
