If you've chosen a Vimle sofa cover from Covereo, congratulations — you've invested in comfort, functionality, and long-lasting style. Our Vimle covers are designed with real-life needs in mind, whether you're a parent, a pet owner, or someone who simply wants to enjoy a cleaner, more durable sofa.
This care guide will help you get the most out of your IKEA Vimle cover, including cleaning tips, washing instructions, and best practices for keeping your Vimle sofa covers looking like new.
Why Our Vimle Covers Are the Right Choice
Each Vimle cover available at Covereo is made from high-quality fabrics selected for their performance and practicality. Many of our fabrics are:
- Stain-resistant
- Durable and abrasion-resistant
- Pet-friendly
- Easy to maintain
These properties make our Vimle sofa covers ideal for busy households with kids, pets, or frequent guests. Thanks to stain-repellent technology, spills bead up on the surface instead of soaking into the fabric — giving you precious time to wipe them away before they cause stains.
⚠️ Keep in mind: every fabric in our store has slightly different characteristic. Always refer to the individual fabric description on covereo.com to understand the unique properties of the material you choose.
Daily Cleaning for Vimle Sofa Covers
To maintain your Vimle sofa cover, start with regular dry cleaning methods:
- Wipe crumbs or dust off using a soft cloth.
- Use a vacuum with a brush attachment to remove dirt, pet hair, or debris.
- Always vacuum in the direction of the weave using low suction.
Avoid scrubbing or aggressive brushing — this could damage the surface of the fabric or reduce its stain-resistant qualities.
Spot Cleaning Stains
If you catch a spill early, there's a good chance you won’t need to wash your entire Vimle cover.
- Blot gently with a clean, absorbent cloth.
- Mix lukewarm water with a few drops of mild liquid detergent.
- Dab the stained area gently (do not rub).
- Use a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
- Let the fabric air dry fully before using the furniture again.
This method works well on many of our stain-proof Vimle covers — especially if the fabric was treated with protective coating.
Washing Your IKEA Vimle Cover
If spot cleaning isn't enough, you can wash your Vimle sofa covers in the washing machine — but only if you follow these important steps:
✅ Before You Wash:
- Zip up all zippers. This helps maintain the cover’s shape and avoids damage.
- Turn inside out, if possible.
- Wash separately. Never mix your Vimle covers with other laundry items.
✅ Machine Wash Settings:
- Delicate cycle
- 30°C / 86°F max temperature
- Mild detergent, no bleach or softeners
- Low spin speed
❌ Avoid:
- Bleaching agents
- Fabric softeners
- Dry cleaning
- Tumble drying
How to Dry Vimle Sofa Covers Properly
Drying your IKEA Vimle cover the wrong way can lead to shrinkage or fabric warping. Here’s the right way to do it:
- Air dry only.
- Hang covers across multiple drying lines or bars to avoid stretching or folding marks.
- Avoid direct sunlight exposure.
🛋️ Pro tip: You can gently place your slightly damp Vimle sofa cover back onto the sofa to finish drying in place. This allows the fabric to mold to the furniture’s shape naturally — just make sure not to use the sofa until the cover is completely dry.
Final Care Tips
- Rotate or flip cushions regularly to distribute wear.
- Keep pets' nails trimmed and avoid sitting with sharp objects (like keys or belt buckles).
- Always read the specific fabric care description on the label before attempting deep cleaning.
