Cushion & Throw Blanket Care Guide

Cushions and throw blankets take a lot of daily contact — leaning, lounging, pets — so a little care keeps prints, filling, and weave looking full and fresh for years.

Check the Label First

Printed cushion covers and woven throws often care best with different methods — removable covers can usually be machine washed, while some woven and flannel throws prefer a gentler approach.

Washing Cushion Covers

Remove covers from inserts before washing where possible, use cold water, and wash inside out to protect printed designs from friction against the drum.

Caring for Woven & Flannel Throws

A gentle, cold cycle keeps colours and patterns from fading, and air-drying flat or on a rack helps woven throws keep their shape rather than stretching out of a dryer.

Keeping Inserts Fresh

Fluffing and rotating cushion inserts regularly prevents flat spots, and airing them outside on a dry day every so often helps keep them feeling full.

Spot-Cleaning Between Washes

For small marks, a damp cloth with a small amount of mild detergent dabbed — not rubbed — into the spot avoids spreading the mark or affecting the surrounding print.

Final Thoughts

Cold washes, careful drying, and the odd fluff and air-out are all it takes to keep cushions and throws feeling as good as they look on the sofa.
