Can you wash couch covers

Yes, you can wash your couch covers! We recommend washing your sofa covers with cold water (30 °C) on a gentle cycle.

Additionally, it's a good idea to test a small area of the fabric before washing the entire piece. This will help you avoid any unwanted surprises or damage to your furniture.

Guide to wash a sofa couch without shrinking

Your sofa is one of the most important pieces of furniture in your home, and keeping it clean is essential to maintaining its appearance and prolonging its life. Sofa covers can be a great way to protect your sofa from spills and stains, but they can be difficult to wash without shrinkage. Here are some tips to help you wash your sofa covers without shrinking them:

First, always check the care label before washing. This will give you the best chance of success. If the care label says "dry-clean only" then take it to a professional.

Use cold water

Hot water can cause fabric to shrink, so always use cold water when washing sofa covers. You may also want to put the sofa cover in a mesh laundry bag to protect it during the washing process.

Wash on a gentle cycle

Be sure to set your washing machine to a gentle cycle when washing sofa covers. This will help prevent shrinkage.

Hang dry

Once your sofa covers are done washing, hang them up to dry instead of using a clothes dryer. The heat from the dryer can cause shrinkage, so it's best to let your covers air dry. Once the sofa cover is dry, you can put it back on your sofa and enjoy clean, fresh fabric. 

Iron on low heat

If your sofa covers need to be ironed, do so on a low heat setting. This will help prevent shrinkage.

Following these tips should help you wash your sofa covers without shrinking them. Sofa covers are an important part of keeping your sofa clean and protected, so it's worth taking the time to care for them properly.
