WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

Slipcovers can easily be removed, when stained or soiled, and dry cleaned or laundered at home. How you clean your cover will depend on the fabric. It is ok to not pre-wash your fabric! but you will have to dry clean it if it gets dirty. We recommend washing your slipcover only periodically. If you plan to launder your slipcover at home, it is crucial to preshrink (pre-wash) the fabric before we construct your cover. We pre-wash fabric for $5.00 p/yard, or you can pre-wash the fabric yourself using the following instructions:

• Test a small piece of fabric (15" x15") to see if it shrinks! If it doesn't shrink, there is no need to pre-wash.
• If you like the way the test piece looks - cut and wash one  3 yard piece described below .
• If the first 3 yard piece looks good cut all the rest and wash as per instructions below.
• Cut fabric into 3 to 3 1/2 yard pieces (Thin fabrics 3 1/2 yards)

WASHING

• Wash most fabrics in warm or Hot water. Black and red fabrics should be washed in Warm or cold water to stop fading.
• For most fabrics it is not necessary to use detergent.
• Use detergent if the fabric is stiff or you want a washed look.
• Using a shorter cycle (gentle) can help keep the fabric from looking to faded.
• Using cold or warm water will also keep the fabric from looking to faded.
• Fill washer to largest load size for a full cycle. Add liquid laundry detergent and and some fabric softener (if the fabric is stiff) mix with the water before placing the fabric in the washer.
• Wash again with only water .
• ** Be sure to wash your fabric twice **  This will insure that all the detergent has been removed!

DRYING

• Dry fabric on low heat until it is damp/dry (as if you had misted it- NOT WET).
• ****Very Important ****  Roll fabric on a tube with the right side to the inside.
• If you do not have a tube, pretend like you have one!!! Roll it!!! It is OK to intertwine the pieces!
• Make sure your fabric is rolled on a tube!    Fabric re-rolling charge $2 per yard

WASHING YOUR SLIPCOVER

• It's ok to wash your slipcover if the fabric was pre washed
• After you have washed it, put the slipcover on.
• Straiten it on the furniture and the cushions.
• Do not zip it or tuck it in!
• The Slipcover will dry over night.
• Zip everything up ( making sure not to zip any loose threads)
• Tuck everything in and you are done!
