Dfs sofa washing machine

[sofapanic]

Aibu? Have I gone crazy?

We have a grey Angelica sofa from dfs (bought many moons ago!)

I want to wash it and don't have a lot of time to hire someone to clean it as I'm due a baby any day. Would i be nuts to put the covers in the washing machine? I figured if I washed it on cold and some form of wool/delicate wash?

Talk me out of it if I'm being nuts because I'm on the verge of chucking a cover in to see what happens! 🙈

I washed a loose cover on 30d and it shrank Don’t risk it

Omg I just put it in 😂😂😂

I don't even know why I did it without waiting for answers 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Pregnancy madness

Wel you've done it now. My only advice is to dry naturally not tumble dry and to put back in while still slightly damp.

Yes that's my plan. Im so scared now 🙈 we would never be able to get a new sofa before baby comes 🤦🏻‍♀️ Worst case scenario I'll have to put a throw over the bottom cushions until we got a new one!

Good luck, op. I washed the cushion covers from the garden furniture last week. Shrank them to buggery.

Try stretching gently whilst wet and definitely don't tumble dry.

I've washed mine before .. def don't tumble dry as that will shrink it .. also put it back on slightly damp and dry it in a sunny part of the room inside .

Oh dear. I think I'm going to put myself into labour with the stress 😂

We wash ours and they come up well. I let them dry naturally and put them back on whilst they are still slightly damp

I always used to wash mine in the machine! Cool, wool wash & they were fine.

I washed my old ones and whilst they didn't shrink the backing on the inside crumbled and went weird. Didn't risk it again but I don't know if it was a fluke

I have a sofa with those thick chord stripes fabric. I wash and tumble the covers all the time and it's fine. Hope yours is OK.

Our sofas are from dfs and i wash and tumble the covers regularly (we picked cream before even considering children). So far i have had no issues but i always take them out the tumble and put them back on while they still warm. Seems to be a little easier

I've washed ours even though they explicitly said not to. They come up really well.

I wash mine on a normal 30 wash and dry them outside on a sunny day. They’re absolutely fine.

Oh thank goodness! You lot have given me some hope back! I feel on edge waiting for the machine to beep 😂

I'm not sure what has happened to my life that this is my Friday night excitement!

Wash ours all the time two dogs plus kids. Put them back on damp and put them somewhere to dry.

Well it depends whether it has stain guard on it because they always used to be at great pains to tell you how it would completely fuck your machine if you did.

I wash my DFS sofa covers annually on a cold wash then line dry they look beautiful

I done mine a while ago, waited until they were pretty much dry, put them back on and they are absolutely fine, sofa is only about 2-3 years old though

I was only pondering today wether to have a go at washing my one! I’m going to do it ...weirdly exciting?

Don't dry on the radiator, mine had a plastic type lining
and I think the radiator heat shrank the covers - let them dry naturally
and they should be fine.

I washed mine in the machine at 30 last week after a vomit incident. Totally fine. I just dried it on an airer.

I washed my laura Ashley dryclean only one and had to put it on while still damp, which I fear would be much harder when dry.
