Caring for your cover
A few simple steps keep the print and fabric looking great for longer.
Before cleaning, turn the cover inside out to protect the print.
Wash the cover by hand in water no warmer than 30°C, using a mild detergent.
Do not machine wash the cover, so the print and fabric stay intact.
Do not use a tumble dryer; let the cover dry naturally.
Not every design is available in all four fabrics. Always check the options shown on the product page before ordering.
