I need 2 no if I can put microfiber cushion covers in washer.?

i was told that i could wash them on gentle cycle w/out drying them but there are no tags on the cushions themselves that say how to clean them at all. i thought that getting an upholstrey cleaner (or a carpet cleaner on upholstery setting) might work better. i just need a way to clean them w/out having to sponge them clean. (there are some fairly large stains such as coffee %26amp; chocolate so dabbing them clean isn't an option.)I need 2 no if I can put microfiber cushion covers in washer.?
Microfiber itself is a finely woven polyester, and may therefore be washed and dried on mild (i.e. permanent press or warm) settings.





However, if there are other materials involved, like interfacings or linings, those might shrink and therefore render your covers useless unless washed gently in cold water and dried on a line or on a tumble setting. If the whole construction is microfiber and contains no other materials, either in the construction or as a trim, then you're safe washing and drying just like any other polyester.





Hops that helps-- DaveI need 2 no if I can put microfiber cushion covers in washer.?
use the washer , cold and dont dry, they might shrink but i dont think the washer will hurt them.
