How to clean IKEA couch covers (and keep them white!)
Wish you had white sofas but not sure how to keep them clean? Here's how I clean IKEA couch covers, and keep them white with stunning results!
Tools:
- Washing machine (mine is a front loader)
- A good vacuum (I use a Dyson Animal)
Supplies:
- Washing machine detergent
- Laundry brightener
- Shout Laundry spot remover
- Sheets or blankets
- A place to hang-dry
Instructions:
- Vacuum all cushions and the main couch slipcover.
- Remove the inserts from all seat and back cushion covers.
- Spot-spray the flattened covers and allow to sit for 15 min.
- Load the washing machine with laundry detergent and a whitener.
- Machine wash in washing machine.
- Hang dry on a wash line.
- While covers are drying, sit on a sheet or blanket.
- Fluff up all seat and back cushions.
- Put cushion covers and sofa cover back on once dry, or even nearly dry.
- Sit on blankets or sheets to help keep them cleaner.
- Place a cover over the arm rests to help protect them.
- Wash slipcovers at least once if not twice a year to keep them up.
