Weekly Maintenance Tips

Regular maintenance prevents dirt from becoming embedded in fabric fibers.

Vacuum Your Covers

Use a vacuum attachment designed for upholstery.

Focus on:

• Seat creases
• Cushion seams
• Side panels
• Under cushions

Weekly vacuuming helps remove:

• Dust
• Pet hair
• Crumbs
• Allergens

Rotate Cushions

To promote even wear:

• Swap frequently used seats with less-used ones

This helps maintain a consistent appearance across your Sactional.

How to Remove and Wash Lovesac Covers

One of Lovesac's biggest advantages is its machine-washable cover system.

Step 1: Remove Covers Carefully

Unzip each cover slowly to avoid stress on the zippers.

Turn covers inside out when possible.

Step 2: Wash in Cold Water

For most Lovesac covers:

✅ Cold water

✅ Gentle cycle

✅ Mild detergent

Avoid:

❌ Bleach

❌ Fabric softeners

❌ Harsh chemicals

These products can damage fibers and fade colors.

Step 3: Air Dry Whenever Possible

Air drying helps preserve:

• Fabric integrity
• Shape
• Texture
• Color

Avoid excessive heat, which can shrink or damage certain fabrics.

How to Handle Common Spills

Accidents happen—even on premium furniture.

The key is acting quickly.

Coffee Spills

1. Blot immediately.
2. Do not rub.
3. Use a clean damp cloth.
4. Wash the cover if necessary.

Food Stains

1. Remove excess residue.
2. Blot with mild soap and water.
3. Follow with a clean damp cloth.

Avoid scrubbing aggressively.

Pet Accidents

1. Blot moisture immediately.
2. Use a pet-safe upholstery cleaner.
3. Wash the cover if removable.

Prompt action helps prevent odors from setting into the fabric.

How to Keep Pet Hair Under Control

Many Lovesac owners are pet lovers.

To minimize pet hair buildup:

Use a Lint Roller

A quick weekly pass keeps covers looking fresh.

Vacuum Frequently

Especially on:

• Corded Velvet fabrics
• Chenille fabrics

Brush Pets Regularly

Less shedding on your pet means less shedding on your furniture.

Protecting Light-Colored Lovesac Covers

Light fabrics such as Seashell Solid Polylinen create a beautiful, airy look but may require extra attention.

Tips:

✔ Clean spills immediately

✔ Avoid eating messy foods on the sofa

✔ Use throw blankets for added protection

✔ Rotate seating positions

These simple habits can dramatically extend the life of lighter-colored covers.

How Often Should You Wash Lovesac Covers?

Frequency depends on usage.

Low-Traffic Homes

Every 6–12 months

Families with Children

Every 3–6 months

Pet Owners

Every 2–4 months

Spot-cleaning between washes can reduce the need for full cleaning cycles.

Signs It's Time to Replace Covers

Even well-maintained covers eventually wear out.

Consider replacement if you notice:

• Significant fading
• Permanent stains
• Fabric thinning
• Damaged zippers
• Excessive wear

One of the advantages of Lovesac's modular design is that you can often replace covers without replacing the entire Sactional.

Pro Tips for Long-Term Lovesac Care

Use Accessories Strategically

Throw blankets and pillows can protect high-traffic areas.

Avoid Direct Sunlight

Continuous sun exposure may fade certain fabrics over time.

Clean Spills Immediately

The faster you address a stain, the easier it is to remove.

Maintain Indoor Humidity

Stable humidity levels help preserve fabric quality and comfort.
