</div>I love custom slipcovers (not the throw-on, one-size fits all kind) because they still show the shape of the furniture, they are stylish, relaxed and inviting and they make a room look cozy! Slipcovers are a great way to give new life to an old, but well-made piece of furniture. You can also change with the seasons. I am an avid thrift store shopper because I can buy good quality inexpensively,<strong> recycle</strong> and make it look great!<br />

I especially love slipcovers because they can be <strong>cleaned easily</strong>. Yes, sometimes washing and putting them back on can feel like wrestling an alligator, but I don't care. There is just something refreshing about knowing your <strong>furniture is clean</strong>. If you suffer from<strong> allergies</strong>, cleaning your furniture easily can even make you feel better! But, there are a few things I have learned about caring for slips. Most home decor fabrics have not been treated for laundry detergent brighteners. I use<strong> Seventh Generation detergent</strong>, because it does not contain ingredients that will cause the fabric to fade or change color. I learned this the hard way! There are also other products made that will work well also, I just like the Seventh Generation detergent because it is readily available at most grocery stores. I use bleach only when absolutely necessary because over time it will degrade fabric. With pets and kids and a hard working dirty husband, sometimes bleach is the only answer for white slips. I also love the <strong>Carbona Stain Devils</strong> product. They have very specific cleaners for stubborn stains and they work very well! I think I have every one they make so I'm always prepared. Ink, make-up, chocolate, and oil are no match for these. Try to wash out spills right away. If you have a stubborn stain, keep working on it before you dry it. Once it's been through the dryer, it's much harder to clean. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW7cw58F3zEjBwjnkmGWjPhhNOjDbyIk9iROcBV06Rv12x68KrCf01_0MBO3EJTNPY74LGX48EU3tqL0mTWTiPdGUypS9Wq9-z2EZC8rAZyqX9MVpG2c4vq2-yKl6-saL1J8wJQrJiwAc/s1600/old+pix+494.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW7cw58F3zEjBwjnkmGWjPhhNOjDbyIk9iROcBV06Rv12x68KrCf01_0MBO3EJTNPY74LGX48EU3tqL0mTWTiPdGUypS9Wq9-z2EZC8rAZyqX9MVpG2c4vq2-yKl6-saL1J8wJQrJiwAc/s400/old+pix+494.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<strong>Dry cleaning</strong> can still shrink your slipcovers! Plus, unclean drycleaning fluid can change the color of the fabric! I always pre-wash and dry the fabric before I take out the scissors! This greatly reduces shrinkage over the life of the slipcover, although it may still gradually shrink a little bit. <br />
