Her one-year-old daughter had got milk all over the material, and the cat didn’t help things either.

After being unable to afford to have it professionally cleaned, the mum decided to raid her cupboards to see what would lift the dirt.

Nicole used a combination of Vanish, washing up liquid and her washing machine to transform the sofa.

The finishing touch was a spritz of Febreeze, and it looks as good as new.

Sharing her transformation on Facebook group , she said: “I was honestly sickened with how my sofa looked, it was scruffy and just looked horrible.

“It had so many food stains and milk stains, from my daughter.”

Nicole said she went “full cleaning mode”, and explained exactly how she shifted the stains.

She told Fabulous Digital: “I have a 1 year old daughter, and a cat, I do find it hard to take all the cushions off and clean them.

“I'll be honest, I don't have much money I couldn't afford to get it professionally clean.

“So I dabbled with things in my cupboard hoping for the best.

“I used vanish, on the really bad stains (big cushions), and fairy washing up liquid and warm water on the smaller cushions at the back.

“Then put on a quick washer for 1 hour 1600 spin 60°, as norm with washing stuff.

“Then I left on rads to dry. And touched up with febreze.”

She added she was “so happy” with how it turned out, and dozens of people have praised her transformation online.

One person said: “Wow what did you use?”

Another thought: “Look how this as come up.”

While a third wrote: “Perfect thank you looks amazing.”
