Hello there! That's a great question, and it's one a lot of people have about keeping their sofas looking fresh.
Based on the official advice from DFS on their fabric care page, you should avoid putting your sofa cushion covers in the washing machine. Even though most of their covers are removable, machine washing can cause them to shrink or get damaged, which could also affect your guarantee.
For a thorough clean, DFS recommends having the covers professionally dry-cleaned. This is the safest way to get them looking great without risking any damage to the fabric.
If you have a minor spill, their advice is to act quickly. Blot the stain gently with a clean, dry cloth, being careful not to rub it in. For tougher stains that don't come out with blotting, it's best to use a specialist fabric cleaning kit or call in a professional cleaning service. So, while it's tempting, it's best to keep those covers out of the washing machine to protect your sofa.
