Home Improvement - FURNITURE - SLIPCOVERS - CLEANING

Slipcovers--Cleaning
Vacuum slipcovers while still on furniture, and shake
outdoors after removing. If washable, wash in warm water
and laundry detergent. Wash one large slipcover and two
small pieces at one time in average machine; do not
crowd. Use soak cycle before wash cycle to remove extra
soil. Use cold rinse at end and don't let them spin too
much. Take out of washer while still quite wet, and
either hang over clotheslines or put in dryer. Take out
of while still a little damp.

Smooth over furniture and pull all seams and cording
into place. Pinch pleats into sharp creases and smooth
any ruffles. Open the window in good weather and/or use
an electric fan near the window or furniture to speed
drying. Or use a dehumidifier if windows are closed. Do
not use furniture until slipcover is completely dry.
