Zippers on Sofa Cushions

By cillabill (Guest Post)

I have washed the covers of some of my couches.
I wash them in cold water, after they go through the rinse cycle, I turn the dial to rinse, and rinse them again. As a matter of fact, I rinse all my laundry an extra time. But for the covers, I don't dry them -- I put them on the pillows straight from the washer and let them dry. Works for me.

The only reason the zipper is there is to close the covering once it is made, cause they can't sew it closed easily with a sewing machine. They definitely wont be usable if you remove them to wash them whether by washing machine or dry cleaning.. Don't try it, they will be a total loss.

Oh my I was SERIOUSLY considering this the other day and decided against it. Instead I took a damp wash cloth with light soap.
It worked okay but not that great. Interested in other ideas. I am afraid to use too heavy of soap which might end up attracting more dirt later.
