Washing sofa cushion covers?

My sofa is red fabric and we've had a few potty training accidents on it recently 😱

Although I've cleaned it thoroughly, I've been left with some awful looking water marks.

There was no mention of the fabric being washable but the cushions do unzip so I can remove them, although I'm nervous to wash them in case they shrink or fade!

Has anyone done this with success? I know all sofas are different but do you think they'd be okay on a cold hand wash setting?

yes I wash mine a couple of times a year on a cool wash, no problems. Can be easier to put back on when slightly damp because then they seem to stretch a bit.

Thanks, I've given it a gamble on a cold wool wash! 🤞🏻
