We all know how hard it is to keep a couch clean, especially when it’s a light coloured fabric. My couch is 10 years old and I love it so much. I have it professionally cleaned once a year but it never looks perfect and and can’t find anything I’d rather buy in the shops. So one night I decided to rip it apart so I could put the cushion covers in the wash.

This diy tutorial shows you how I made my couch cushions removable and washable. I cannot believe how new my couch looks now. And no more professional cleaning bills!
