We always receive comments on how we have a white sofa and keep it clean with kids and pets… I touched a bit on this in this post last year, but it seems there is a gap of information that is missing when it comes to maintaining your performance fabric sofa- how to care for it, when to wash it, how often…
Today, I am going to share all of the details in this post and hopefully it will help you feel more confident in being able to own a white sofa!

First- What is performance fabric? Performance Fabric is durable, stain resistant and easy to clean making it the perfect solution for families.
YES, you can have a white sofa with kids and pets!
•Wash Slipcover seasonally or as needed (Follow the care instructions of your specific fabric. Ours is Slub Cotton White- delicate wash on cold, dry on low heat, take out and put back on while damp. Putting on damp allows the fabric to stretch easier).
•Vacuum regularly.
•Spot clean any spills with a dry microfiber cloth.
•Use a quilt over the seat cushion that can easily be thrown in the wash weekly to help maintain the longevity of the slipcover in between washes.
