Washing white couch cushion covers.

There should be a tag on your sofa cushions that clues you in on important facts such as whether the material is water soluble. Keep in mind that one side of the tag may address the cleaning of the sofa cover while the other will provide information for washing the cushions themselves. This is a little trickier that washing the cover in the washing machine. The best solution is to wash the cushion covers just often enough to keep them from looking grimy but not often enough to make them noticeably different from the back and.

Be aware that repeated washing of just the cushions may make them paler than the rest of the sofa. Once the cover is removed you can put the cushion in your washer as well if it is big enough. Now that your cushions have set fully rinse all of the cleaning solution from each cushion using the spray tip. However you must be sure that you can turn off the agitator or your cushion may be destroyed by the washer.

Move the spray tip back and forth from one edge of the cushion to the other. For more tips from our cleaning co author including how to pre treat stained couch cushions read on. Watch the dirt and stains wash away from the fabric right before your eyes.

Some fabrics are machine washable so you can remove the cushion covers and wash them in your household washing machine other fabrics can be spot cleaned using solutions recommended by the maker of the furniture. If in doubt wash your cushions with warm soapy water and a sponge or rag.
