How to care for a chair cover

Washing

All of our chair covers are fully machine washable (30°C recommended) or hand washable. The most optimal way will be to use a gentle washing program suitable for delicate linens, setting the spin speed to the minimum.

We recommend washing your cover before its first use, making sure to separate light and dark colours.

Do not use chlorine or bleach when washing, this may damage the colors and patterns of your chair cover.

In the case of a very dirty cover, it is necessary to treat the stains beforehand so that the dirt does not persist.

Drying

We advise you not to use a tumble dryer when drying your cover. Its high-quality stretch fabric is designed to dry quickly . After washing, hang your cover to air dry.

The cover should not be put back on a chair when it is wet as this could damage your chair or stool.

If possible, dry horizontally and remember to turn your chair cover over regularly to ensure optimal and uniform drying .

Ironing

If you want to iron your chair cover, be careful not to exceed a maximum temperature of 200°C. However, ironing is not mandatory. The fabric that makes up our chair covers is designed to regain its shape and avoid creases .

Caring for a sofa cover

Washing

Our sofa covers are washable and reusable . Washing can be done in the washing machine or by hand. We recommend not to exceed a temperature of 30°C. The best solution will be to use a gentle program, as for cleaning delicate fabrics. The spin cycle should be set to the minimum speed.
