Re: Tylosand slipcovers, how to wash

If you need Tylosand slipcovers buy them now.
The entire line is discontinued. Last I saw they
were marked down to $4.99 for any size, any colour.

Re: Tylosand slipcovers, how to wash

It seems like some people destroyed their covers by washing and others did not.

The covers for Tylosand were either Everod or Kungsvik fabric. I think Everod were dry clean only and Kungsvik washable.

Has anyone successfully washed Everod fabric covers?

Cheers, Ray

Re: Tylosand slipcovers, how to wash

I have had this sofa for almost 7 years. Original fabric was bone white and 100% cotton. I absolutely love it, the color is so fresh, and fabric feels so soft and no staticky feel. However, the white cotton fabric was probably not the best choice for someone with a dog. Instructions say do not wash, but it was washed when my dog chewed markers on it, and few times when she had muddy paws. Maybe every 4-6 months... I soaked it in lukewarm /cold water overnight every time, and than washed it on gentle cycle with woolite for delicates (special one for sweaters). I do not recommend dryer, it shrank. Also, I do not recommend oxyclean. After 7 years, I guess I need new slipcovers. I tried resurrecting them with oxyclean, but it came out really spotty and dirty... And zipper pull part broke a while ago, I have to use pliers every time I change the covers :p
Still, I love it so much, I ordered on ebay the same covers again.
