Can
I machine wash my slipcovers?
Yes.
IF they've been made to be machine washed.
If we cut and make your slipcovers, and you prewashed your
fabric according to the instructions we gave you, then yes.
But IF you purchased your slipcovers ready-made
from another manufacturer, and you decide to machine wash
them rather than dry clean them, you're taking a huge
risk. Don't do it. Back slowly away from the washing machine.
Never machine wash something you're not sure about.
Manufacturers such as Surefit, Sundance, Pottery Barn and
even Ikea (sadly) often cut corners by not prewashing their
fabrics. And why should they? If you were in business to make
as big a profit as you could on materials, you wouldn't go
the extra labor and step of prewashing fabrics either.
These
vendors often provide consumers with instructions saying it's
ok to machine wash and put damp slipcovers on your furniture,
stretching them to fit. This is NOT an ideal situation for
multiple reasons, but do it if you must. If you bought one
of these slipcovers, you have to live with it.
For
anything our studio custom makes for you, if you'd like to
machine wash and dry it at home, click here for more instructions!
Follow them and you'll stay happy!

How
long have you been making slipcovers?
Over
15 years. It's 2009 now as I'm revising this text. And this
is Jen answering. I'm a pro, and almost always the person
who comes to custom drape and cut your slipcovers. If it's
not me personally then it's a colleague I've trained and supervised
to do it to our exacting standards, which are the highest.
Yes, I'm vain about our work here. We are extremely proud
of the work we produce out of this studio. Things that are
beautiful and well made are things to be proud of.
