Come on girl.
I know they're a...WHITE couches? Come on girl.<br /><br />I know they're all the rage and yes "you can wash slipcovers" blah blah blah....but people say the same thing about white floors, right? You can just mop them and they look as good as new. But who wants to HAVE to mop all the time? Because when they look bad they look really bad. Give me a floor that HIDES stuff so I can relax. Relatively speaking.<br /><br />But that's just me. I can't even keep up with regular everyday laundry. I'd shoot myself if I had to keep furniture washed as well.<br /><br />Good luck!rebecca @ older and wisorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11774971767610015820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810255144524814809.post-11998402377197736562010-05-14T09:44:45.959-05:002010-05-14T09:44:45.959-05:00oh, and i recommend our white quilted fabric. it l...oh, and i recommend our white quilted fabric. it looks great and is very forgiving with kids!Karenhttp://ballarddesigns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810255144524814809.post-31436249521620055722010-05-14T09:42:44.510-05:002010-05-14T09:42:44.510-05:00I work at Ballard so thought I'd weigh in.

I agree with the tip about drying them just a little then letting them finish up on the sofa.<br /><br />Also, just so you know, you can order one of our sofa & slips and try it for 10 days. if you don't love it you can return it for free including all of the shipping. We realllly believe in them. <br /><br />Good luck on your hunt!Karenhttp://ballarddesigns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810255144524814809.post-87894479333085126722010-05-13T17:26:24.193-05:002010-05-13T17:26:24.193-05:00I like the Ikea couches.

As a person with children I think it is a great idea to own furniture with slipcovers that you can bleach when the kiddos have decided to make the couch their latest art project.misty lapetinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945279033941752687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810255144524814809.post-781868302592158822010-05-10T20:26:12.873-05:002010-05-10T20:26:12.873-05:00For bang for you buck, you cannot beat ikea ektorp...For bang for you buck, you cannot beat ikea ektorp sofas. The covers wash well, are easy to replace and last a long, long time. I bought my sofa and loveseat 2nd hand and the previous owners had them for 6 years of everyday family (and pet) use. They are still wonderful. Once your kids grow up, sit your tush on any sofa you like, until then live life in ektorps :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455890279105925731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810255144524814809.post-16783723216453705202010-05-10T15:59:08.699-05:002010-05-10T15:59:08.699-05:00The trick to not having the slipcovers shrink is t...The trick to not having the slipcovers shrink is to only dry them for about 15-20 minutes, depending on your dryer. Then you put them on the couch while they are slightly damp. No ironing necessary that way. I have had the IKEA love seat and sleeper sofa for nine years. Style have the original white slipcovers.unfinishednoreply@blogger.com
