Sofa and cushion covers cleaned gently, so they come back fresh
and still fit, without shrinking or fading.
Washing sofa covers at home is one of the easiest ways to ruin them. Too much heat and they shrink just enough that the zips will not close and they no longer fit the sofa, and many cover fabricsfade or lose colour in a hot wash. At Ilford Dry Cleaners, we have cleaned sofa and cushion coversfor over 8 years from our shop on Ilford Hill. We use a gentle, low-temperature process that liftsdirt, body oils and stains while keeping the fabric its right size and colour, so your covers goback on looking fresh and fitting exactly as they should.
Serving the local Ilford community with
excellence.
Sofa covers are made to fit tightly, so even a small amount of shrinkage means they will not goback on. A hot home wash and a tumble dryer are the usual culprits. On top of that, upholsteryfabric dyes are often weak and can fade or bleed, and rubbing at a stain can lift the colouraltogether. Our process is built around avoiding all of this: we check the fabric, treat stainsgently, and clean on a low-temperature, delicate cycle that keeps the size and colour intact. Wealso press and finish the covers so they look their best when they go back on the sofa.
Here is a tip worth knowing: always have all your sofa covers cleaned at the same time. Even acareful clean can lift a very slight amount of colour, so if you clean just one cushion cover, itcan end up looking a shade different from the rest. Cleaning the whole set together keeps everypiece an even, matching colour.
