FAQs

Yes, most sofa covers can be washed, but how you do it depends on the material.

Fabric covers (cotton, polyester, linen blends): Usually machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold or warm water.

Elastic or stretch covers: Wash them separately in cold water to keep their shape and elasticity.

Velvet or delicate materials: Hand wash or use a delicate cycle; avoid tumble drying.

Waterproof or PU-coated covers: Wipe clean with a damp cloth instead of machine washing.

Always check the care label first it tells you exactly how to wash your cover safely. If unsure, go for a gentle wash, mild detergent, and air dry.

Check the care label first manufacturers often give the safest temperature and instructions.

Shake or vacuum covers to remove dust and crumbs; treat stains with a mild stain remover or a paste of baking soda + water and blot (don’t rub).

Close zips and fasten Velcro; turn covers inside out to protect the outer fabric.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold or warm water (follow label). Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and harsh enzymes.

Wash covers separately or with similar colours to prevent dye transfer.

For waterproof or laminated covers, skip fabric softener (it breaks the coating).

Tumble dry on low or better line dry in shade; reshape while damp to avoid wrinkles.

Iron on low heat only if the care label allows.

Put covers back on the sofa carefully, smoothing seams and corners for a neat fit.

Tip: regular spot-cleaning plus a full wash every 3–6 months keeps covers fresh and extends their life.

Covering a sofa is simple once you know the right steps here’s how to do it neatly and easily:

Choose the right size cover: Measure your sofa (width, height, depth) to make sure the cover fits snugly.

Remove cushions: Take off any loose cushions before fitting the main cover.

Position the cover: Place the label at the back of the sofa to orient it correctly.

Stretch and fit: Pull the cover evenly over the arms, back, and front of the sofa.

Tuck excess fabric: Use the foam sticks (if included) or your hands to tuck extra fabric into the gaps between cushions.

Replace cushions: If your cover comes with separate cushion covers, put those on last.

Smooth everything out: Adjust the corners and seams for a clean, fitted look.

Pro tip: If the fabric wrinkles, lightly mist it with water or use a steamer for a perfect finish.

Covering a sofa with a throw is a quick and stylish way to refresh your living room here’s how to do it easily:

Choose the right throw: Pick a large enough throw to cover your sofa comfortably. Cotton, fleece, or knitted throws work best for flexibility and comfort.

Lay it evenly: Spread the throw across the back of the sofa, leaving an equal amount hanging on each side.

Tuck it in: Tuck the edges between the cushions and the sofa frame to keep it in place.

Drape for style: Let the corners hang naturally or fold them neatly for a more elegant look.

Add cushions: Place matching or contrasting cushions on top to hold the throw and complete the look.

Tip: For a cozy and effortless style, let the throw fall loosely over one armrest — it adds warmth and a relaxed, modern touch.
