Helpful Hints

Your slipcover is on, but there seems to be enough excess fabric to cover three sofas. Don't have a fit! Regardless of your seating situation, these hints* can help you get great slipcover results.

	No Tucking Area If your sofa doesn't have creases in between the sofa arm and the back cushions, simply make neat pleats, and tuck all the excess fabric under the seat cushions.
	Skinny Arms If your sofa's arms are very thin, try wrapping them in batting first. Then just put on the slipcover normally.
	Leather Furniture Try laying down nonskid strips that are normally used beneath carpeting to reduce slipping and sliding.
	Tucking Tucking excess fabric into the crevices is the key to a pretty slipcover! Use a wooden spoon or spatula to help tuck in excess fabric. To keep it tucked in, roll up some old magazines with a rubber band and push them into the crevices.
	Wrinkles And to handle any wrinkles, try throwing the slipcover in your dryer on a low setting with a damp towel for a few minutes. Tuck, tuck, tuck!
	Loose Back Pillows You love loose back pillows ... but you get tired of straightening them day after day. Then, try the nice-and-neat look described below. Simply lay the pillows flat across the back of your furniture. Don't be afraid to remove one of your back cushions if it helps them lay flat!

Care & Maintenance

Keep your cover looking great! There's nothing to it. Just use the following FAQs* (maybe a little TLC) and your slipcover will be A.O.K.!

How do I care for my slipcover?
Do slipcovers shrink when they are washed?
How do I remove wrinkles?
How durable are Sure Fit slipcovers?

Do slipcovers shrink when they are washed?
Slipcovers will have a small amount of shrinkage during the first few washings. The shrinkage amount is less than 5%. As long as your furniture falls within the standard measurements, this should not affect the fit of your slipcover.

How do I remove wrinkles?
To avoid wrinkles after laundering, just pull the cover out of the dryer once the cycle is complete and immediately place it on the furniture. If your cover gets wrinkled in storage, simply toss it in the dryer on low heat for 10 minutes to remove the wrinkles. If the cover is wrinkled while on your furniture, try spraying a mist of water on the cover with a spray bottle and pressing out the wrinkles with your hand. (Do not tumble dry fabrics that have instructions to line dry.)

How durable are Sure Fit slipcovers?
All of Sure Fit's fabrics must undergo rigorous quality tests in their in-house laboratory before being introduced to the line. They "lose" many wonderful patterns each year because they do not meet the following standards:

• Sandpaper abrasion test for wearability.
• Minimal shrinkage to get the best fit wash after wash.
• Ball burst test for puncture resistance with 50 lbs. of pressure.
• Crocking test for colorfastness, so color doesn't come off on your furniture.
