Bet you wash your sofa cushions too rarely?

Now let’s be honest:
When was the last time you washed the sofa cushions?

How often should you wash a sofa cushion?

We wash our clothes and even our bed linens regularly. But our sofa cushions? There are many very good reasons for this. Sofa cushion covers should be put in the washing machine after three months at the latest. Hair, dust, skin particles, and other contaminants not only cause stains, but also damage the fabric over time. But how do you wash sofa cushions properly?

Washing sofa cushion covers

Washing a sofa cushion is actually incredibly easy, especially if the filling is removable. Simply pull the sofa cushion cover off the inner cushion and throw it in the washing machine with the rest of your laundry.

Our washing tips for sofa cushion covers:

• Most covers can be washed at 40 degrees, but it doesn't hurt to check the label.
• It is best to turn the sofa cushion covers inside out.
• To be on the safe side, please let the covers air dry; some sofa cushion covers won't survive the dryer.

Washing filling cushions

Washing pillow inserts (also called inner pillows) can be quite complicated. Feather pillow inserts, for example, are particularly labor-intensive. Feather pillows can be (partially) washed in the washing machine at 30 degrees, but they should be removed from the washing machine before spinning and squeezed out in the bathtub. Only then should they be briefly spun. Feather pillows can be dried either lying down on a clothes rack, as slowly as possible and shaking them frequently, or in the dryer. A low temperature is best here, as the down does not tolerate excessively high temperatures. The maximum temperature should be set to 40 degrees. Several tennis balls placed in the dryer ensure that the feather pillow is well-ventilated and dries evenly.

Synthetic filling pillows, on the other hand, can be easily washed in the washing machine at a minimum of 30 degrees Celsius. Adding a quarter to a half cup of vinegar to the laundry (in the main wash compartment) will also clean and disinfect these pillows.

For all filling cushions:

• Follow the care instructions on the individual filling cushions (especially the washing temperature)
• do not use fabric softener
• Since the filling cushions have a lot of volume, the washing machine may rinse a second time
• After washing, continue to process the inner cushions immediately, as otherwise mold may develop due to the lying time
• DO NOT wring or twist the pillow to squeeze out the water
• Dry the inner cushion as slowly as possible, shaking it frequently
