*This is a sponsored post by the maker of ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda.  I received compensation for this review but all opinions are 100% my own.  Affiliate links are also included in this post.  Thank you!

My readers have asked.  My friends have asked.  My family has asked.  White slipcover hating folks all over the world have asked.

“How do you keep white slipcovers clean????!!!!”

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

And lest you make the claim that my answer must be “photoshop”, I’m here today to share my tried and true tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers, naturally – no photoshop necessary.  We have a creamy white slipcovered sofa, but these methods will work for any color of slipcovered sofa or chair that need cleaning.

I typically wash my covers 4 times a year, just before each season and especially before Holiday entertaining.  So I took advantage of a slower Fall Saturday morning to take my sad looking sofa from drab and stained . . .

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

. . . to fab and clean!  I do love a refreshed and smellin’ good sofa!

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

Having had this particular slipcovered sofa for near 2 years now, I have experimented with several methods of cleaning.  The first time I was nervous I’d ruin it, so I spent $50 to have it dry cleaned.  If you’ve been around my block a time or two you know my sensitivity to harsh chemicals, which you can read about in my story HERE.

After I brought the covers home from the dry cleaner, I couldn’t sit on my sofa for days without getting a migraine.  So I’ve tried other natural ways to brighten and get rid of stains, and found that ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda (not to be confused with baking soda) is the key ingredient, and it is pure and natural.

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

I keep this stuff on hand for all sorts of cleaning, but use it mostly with my natural laundry detergents to freshen and make better work at dirty laundry.  It does such a good job with dingy whites!

I’m thrilled to have discovered its many benefits, and thrilled to have found something that will allow me to have white slipcovers and 4 kids.  Because if I had to choose between the two . . . things might get questionable 😉

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

Please read on for my spot cleaning hacks, laundering process, and how I avoid ironing my slipcovers at all cost!

And if you ever want to ask me if I regret getting a creamy white slipcovered couch . . . the answer will always be – not in a million years.  I love her so!

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

SPOT CLEAN

Logically, every time your kid smears Nutella on your slipcovers, or colors them with washable markers (even though you’ve told them 1000 times markers aren’t allowed on the couch), or plops down to relax with their dirty little feet . . . you are not going to strip off the covers and wash them.

That would make you a crazy person . . . trust me.

But you can spot clean with my little pasting trick!

See below, the recent culprits.  On the left, we have my sons ritual morning fruit/veggie sauce in the little squeeze pouches.  (Ya, I’ve told dad not to give him those on the couch 1000 times too.  Sigh.)  Can you guess what is on the right???

Yep.  Marker.

Sigh.

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

So here is how I spot clean, when needed.

Make a paste out of Super Washing Soda, by mixing 1 part Water to 1 part ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda.  Measure accurately or on a whim do a spoonful of this, and a spoonful of that.

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

Mix it together and let it sit for a bit to become a thicker consistency.

Next, spoon some of the paste right onto the stain, covering the stain completely.

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

Let the paste sit on the stain for at minimum, 10 minutes.

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

At this point, the paste will harden.  You can scrape it off to reveal the stain, which will still be there.

But the ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda will have done its work and made it 100 times easier for you to scrub it off.  I prefer a good microfiber rag for this step.

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

The earlier you catch the stains, the better.  As you can see, this sauce proved to be more difficult to get off just by scrubbing.  It had sat on my slipcover for over a week.  The paste and scrubbing took most of it off, but I was concerned this stain had gotten the best of me.

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

I was relieved that after my laundering process, not a trace was left.  Let me show you.

LAUNDER

To prep for laundering, unzip all the slipcovers (cushions included) and remove them from the couch.

Be certain they are right side out, and all zippers closed.

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

When loading, do not fill the washing machine too full.  My full size sofa is done in two batches.  One for the base of the couch, and the other for the cushion covers.

With your load in, add the detergent that you normally use, then add 1/2 cup of ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda to the washing machine drum.  There are other directions for deeper cleaning and tougher stains found on the box.

Set your cycle to normal, and I suggest warm water, but cold should also work fine.

Before you move on, I’m going to yell this next statement at you, so you don’t miss it.

DO NOT PUT YOUR SLIPCOVER IN THE DRYER!!!!!

HAND PRESS

Did you catch that?

Do not put your slipcover in the dryer for 2 reasons.

  1. Shrinkage.  Bad
  2. Wrinkles galore.  Very bad.

Instead, you are going to put your covers back onto the sofa and cushions while still WET.  They shouldn’t be dripping wet from the spin cycle, but you definitely want them wet.

Doing it this way will allow you to fit them back on nicely, and then you can just finger press or hand press your way to a lovely slipcover.

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

See here the difference of the one hand pressed side, versus the one I hadn’t done yet.

  Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!     

This hand pressing works so good when wet.  I’m certain it would be a nightmare to try to iron out all the many wrinkles once dried in a dryer.

But go ahead and try it out!  I refuse 😉

Take a look at the spot now, where I wasn’t sure if those small stains would lift.

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

Spotless, and crispy clean.

You probably won’t be able to work out every wrinkle, but my personal slipcover philosophy is that slipcovers were meant to look cozy.  The few remaining wrinkles don’t bug me at all, but if they do, I bust out my flat iron and take care of the rest right there on the sofa.

Tips and tricks for cleaning slipcovers naturally. 4 kids + white sofa . . . no problem!

So there you have it!

Spot clean, launder and hand press!  You won’t believe how fresh your whole house will smell after this process!

This should be all the justification you need to get yourself a creamy white slipcovered sofa, or more fully enjoy the one you have.

I’d love to know how you feel about slipcovered sofas, or do you have a few cleaning hacks of your own?  I’m sure there is more out there!

    Because of the busy schedule every day at this period, people hardly ever have time to keep up their homes or concentrate on other essential things like washing dishes, changing the beds, etc. And they collaborate with others to help them improve their regular day-to-day jobs, especially while providing laundry delivery.

    I made white slipcovers for two loveseats out of sturdy cotton canvas. No little kids, but an adolescent grandson who’d do yardwork for hours shirtless in the hot Texas sun. Talk about dirty & sweaty! Then he’d stretch out on a loveseat to watch TV. Special kind of grime–especially on the cording. My trick? Clorox spray cleanser with bleach. Little hit on the grime & it simply disappeared! Otherwise I’d have had to wash my slipcovers weekly. Wish I’d known about putting them back on wet, though. That would’ve been a BIG help.

    Hi, loved ur site! But I HAVE to ask… what do you use to keep your white rug white??? We recently installed cream/beige in 2 of our kids rooms and while they are older teenagers you’d think they could keep it clean… I’m just about ready to cry and tear it out! Lol… what system/machine do u use to clean it? After reading your article on the slip cover I’m so tempted to add some of that arm and hammer trick as well… dabbing a paste as well as adding some to a carpet cleaner. Any ideas? Please???? Thanks!

    If the slipcovers are very wet and it is a slow drying day, they can cause your sofa or pillows to mildew. Treating that would be a real job. You have to be careful. I usually let the slipcovers lay across the washer or if you have a free, clean counter, for an hour or so before attempting to put them on. I usually flip them over a time or two to be sure they are all about the same dampness. Good luck!

    I was just about to buy new slipcovers, even though mine are only 5 years old, then saw this. I’m certainly going to try it.

    I washed mine and put them back on wet, but also used a steamer for the skirt wrinkles. It works great!

    My white slipcover says to dry clean only and desperately needs to be cleaned. Is yours a dry clean only as well? I am scared to launder it in the machine in fear of what will happen. We have only had our white couch since April, but with three kids and a new dog, it’s time.

      Yes Melissa, mine says to dry clean only, which is why I did that the first couple times too. But I braved it and it worked great though I would never dare dry it for fear of shrinkage. I think it’s worth a try! Start small maybe, with just a cushion cover and see how that goes. Good luck!
