Does anyone know if the large sofa cover is machine washable? I just got them, and we had a bad storm so it got extremely dirty. Thanks!

Use some DAWN dish soap with a Mr Clean Eraser sponge and a garden hose, otherwise you will totally ruin the felt liner!These are great covers! We have been having below zero temperatures here and the have only gotten stiff no cracking at all!

Hello there, the fabric I am familiar with has a light rubber or pVC coating on it. If it gets dirty, it is recommended that you use water and a soft cloth (nothing abrasive) to clean up the dirty places. It is not recommended that you use heavy duty cleaners etc on it, so I would assume that also means you shouldn't machine wash it. It appears to be relatively easy to clean (of course that depends on what it is soiled with). Hope that helps, God Bless.

I haven't machine washed it, only spot treated areas. I think the bag says to dry clean the comforter. The rest is machine washable.

I don't think you can wash the leather seat cover in the washing machine, that's why I got the fabric seat cover. It adds additional cushions and is definitely machine washable.

I believe the whole thing is washable but I wouldn't use hot water. I have only washed the removable cushion so far. I have 3 of these beds and I threw all three removable cushions in the washer on cold water. The stitching on one of the cushions came loose during the wash and a good bit of stuffing came out. I was a bit shocked to see all of that stuffing in the washing machine. I was able to easily re-stuff the cushion and sew up the opening. I did not put them in the dryer because the label only said washable. I hung them up and they were dry in a few hours. Our cats really love these beds.

I am no expert, but it seems that mold/mildew show up wherever there is moisture (from dew and rainfall and humidity). So maybe you need to keep the cover dry by getting a tarp to cover the cover. Of course the tarp will probably start to look gross after a few months, so you will need to get a tarp to cover the tarp. And so on. An easier recommendation would be to learn to live with your filthy cover. It is supposed to be dirty because it is keeping the filth off your furniture. So what if it gets dirty - - don't you take it off when you use your furniture anyway. And when you do, your cushions underneath will be nice and clean. Hey wait. . . . did this question come from my wife? Sounds like something she would say.

It is absolutely NOT machine washable. I just tried to wash it in the machine, low temp, gentle, just a little soap. The pattern is almost completely gone. Looks terrible now. The reason I washed it is because it stunk like mildew (after only a month of use, and ventilation is reasonably good in my BR).

The cover is definitely washable. I have two of these beds and wash the covers every couple weeks. They wash up nicely, but are a bit of a pain to put back on mostly because the beds are big. On the second bed I ordered, the waterproof cover was unstitched on one side which is a little annoying, but the first one was perfect.

It is very machine washable. We use the pillow protectors and mattress covers. The mattress cover is very waterproof. Completely protected the mattress from a potty training accident.

A couple can be reversed (some of the seats) none of the backs (held on by velcro). I suppose you could wash them, but they are large, so you'd need a large washer. We bought the protection plan advertised, it will cover just about anything--haven't used it yet, but would recommend, since it will replace the cushions if needed.

We washed our 2 with no problem. Let them air dry on the clothes line & air out for a week of sun, wind & rain! No problems. Hope this helps you. God bless!

I've only had it for a couple months now so I can't speak about wintertime. I'm planning on leaving the frames outside year round but I am definitley going to store the cushions indoors through the winter. A note about the cushions, they stain very easily. I've left them outside in the rain a few times and dirt/leaves has turned some spots brown. I would imagine they could be washed but I haven't tried yet. I ordered a set of red cushion covers as well so hopefully those hold their color better.

Have not washed mine. I have 4 now and use three at the kitchen entry for snow boots. They work awesome because the rubber backing keeps the wet from sinking through. They vacuum very well with an upright vac(they do have a slight nap). I don't think I would saturate them until summer when you can put them outside if you do not live where there is summer weather. I might suggest you lay it over a crate or something like that to dry -maybe in the basement and not flat on solid carpet. Perhaps hold it up sideways and let spray run down to rinse it.

I don't know if it's machine washable. That's a good question! I bought It for a Christmas gift. When I received it I just went ahead and hid it away for the holiday's. Sorry, I'm no help.

Yes they are machine washable. I just toss them in with my regular laundry and they still come out looking brand new

sorry for the late reply, it doesn't seem machine washable at all. the fabric/ stuffing or whatever on the inside doesn't seem suitable to get washed in........ you would probably have to hand wash it instead of machine washing.... I don't even think really gentle machine washing will work either :/ the thing in between the felt feels like the soft foam/ styrofoam thing, and the actual fabric inside is made out of a really thin material that gets easily ripped

Sorta, but not really. It is a VERY snug fitting cover so it is tough to pull off and put back on. I haven't actually done it with the sofa but with one of the little chairs. The cover was either glued or had fused to the foam in the crevices so I had to rip it free and ripped some small chunks out of the foam when I did it. I was able to get the cover back on but not snug in the corners/crevices like it started. I didn't machine wash either, only hand washed. My concern with the sofa is it would not snug back onto the foam where the sofa unfolds. All that being said, we've had good success with steam cleaning the covers while still on the furniture and spot cleaning with a scrub brush. We've had our little chair for six years and the sofa for three years and they are both holding up great. We LOVE them.
