When choosing a new sofa, it’s incredibly important that it be comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, attractive, and easy to maintain. We all want our sofas to look new for as long as possible. One way to achieve this is by choosing a sofa with removable covers. These covers can be easily taken off and washed, keeping your couch clean and looking new. To achieve this, we need to know the right maintenance methods to ensure they last.
Removing the Covers
When removing the covers, pay attention to the Velcro fasteners. Secure them to the inside of the cover. This will prevent the fabric from being damaged during washing. Make sure all Velcro fasteners are secured, then carefully remove the covers from the furniture piece.
Washing the Covers
To ensure the long-term quality and appearance of the covers, follow these cleaning instruction guidelines:
Washing Temperature: Wash the covers at 30°C (86°F). Higher temperatures can damage the fabric and shorten the lifespan of the covers.
Spin Cycle: Use a low or no spin cycle. A high spin cycle can cause wrinkles and deform the fabric.
Fabric Softener: Do not use fabric softener! Fabric softeners can weaken the fabric fibers and affect its texture.
Delicate Laundry Bags: Use delicate laundry bags.
Preparing to Wash: Before you toss your sofa covers into the washing machine, make sure to secure any Velcro fasteners to the inside of the cover to prevent damage. Gently remove the covers and be careful not to tear them.
Washing Tips: To keep your covers looking their best, follow these simple rules:
Wash them in cold water, use a gentle spin cycle, and skip the fabric softener. A delicate laundry bag will also help protect the fabric.
Drying and Replacing Covers
After washing, it’s important to dry and replace the covers correctly on your sofa.
Drying: Put the washed covers back on while they are still slightly damp. This allows the fabric to better conform to the shape of the sofa and prevents wrinkles.
Replacing Covers: When putting the covers back on, fold the Velcro fasteners to the inside. This prevents them from sticking to the felt and damaging the protective layer of the cover. Once the Velcro fasteners are secured, align the edge of the cover with the sofa’s frame and evenly stretch the cover on all sides until the sofa is completely covered. Then, reattach the Velcro fasteners to the felt.
Do the covers really go back on the sofa easily after washing?
Absolutely! Covers are easy to put back on the sofa after washing. It’s important to note that the covers are made of upholstery fabric and are fitted tightly to prevent wrinkling. Therefore, we recommend putting the covers back on while they are still slightly damp and attaching the Velcro fasteners to the inside first to prevent them from sticking to the felt, which would make it difficult to put the covers on and damage the protection.
With proper care and maintenance, removable covers can maintain their freshness and beauty for many years. By following these simple steps, your sofa will always look new, no matter how often you use it.
For smaller stains, you can take care of them without washing the entire cover:
