If you have a couch with removable cushions, you might be wondering if you can wash them. The answer is yes, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, check the care label to see if the cushion covers are machine-washable. If they are, you can wash them in cold water on the gentle cycle. If the covers are not machine-washable, you’ll need to spot-clean them with a mild detergent.
Once you’ve determined how to wash the cushion covers, you’ll need to decide whether to wash the entire cushion or just the cover. If the cushion is filled with down or fiberfill, you can wash it in the machine. However, if the cushion is filled with foam, you’ll need to spot-clean it.
If you do decide to wash the entire cushion, be sure to put it in a mesh laundry bag to protect it in the washing machine. You should also only wash one cushion at a time to avoid overloading the machine. After washing, the cushion should be air-dried.
With a little care, you can keep your couch cushions clean and fresh.
