Keep Your L Shaped Couch Covers Fresh And New

 

Believe it or not but even your couch cover needs some protection. Sure they are designed to protect our couches, but we can’t just leave them unchecked. As we know couch cover acts as a barrier between the couch and other external factors. But, if these covers were to be exposed to these threats for a long period of time, it can get damaged as well. 

Say, for instance, you are using L-shaped couch covers. Of Course, it can protect them from dust particles. But if these dust particles were to be left unchecked for months. They would certainly develop into a huge chunk of diseases. Let us learn a few steps we can follow to keep our covers healthy.

Regular Cleaning and Spot Treatment

The best and cheapest way to clean a sofa is with the help of a wet microfiber cloth. A microfibre cloth does not leave any lint behind. This is a general method that can be used on any fabric. But if you want to get specific check the edges of your cover. Every cover has an instruction label attached that gives us some steps on how to wash. If you cannot find the note, don't worry we have your back. Here are some basic wash instructions that will work on any fabric. 

Most of the covers being produced nowadays are stain resistant. So in case of stains, you can just simply use a wet cloth and gently rub to get rid of the stain. Generally, a wet cloth is enough for a few week-old stains. But if this does not work you can always just use the washing machine. 

Washing Machine 

When washing your L-shaped couch covers through the washing machine, always make sure that your detergent is dye free. To learn more about a detergent you can go online and conduct research about each one of them. Try reading online reviews by people that are mentioned below when you search for a product. The dye from the detergents can ruin the color combination of the cover. And there is no guarantee that the dye will even spread across the cover, resulting in irregular dye stains. These stains can later on paint our precious couches. 

While washing the cover we use cold water or low heat. Cold water prevents the covers from shrinking. The same goes for the dryer part. Use the lowest temperature possible. 

Avoid Sharp Objects

There is no point in having covers that are full of holes. That indirectly eliminates the purpose of using covers in the first place. To avoid tears in your covers, be extra careful with sharp objects like kitchen knives.

Have Multiple Covers

It is considered the best play if you have at least two pieces of furniture. Say, for instance, one of your covers is not available. It could be dirty and ready for washing or the cover could be all torn out. Either way, you can use the extra pair of covers 

The change covers after a few years of use

Covers are bound to get all worn out after a couple of years of use. Try to change them every 3 - 5 years. When in use, always fold or roll them neatly and keep them in a dust-free area to prevent any damage to the fabric.
