cleaning slipcovers

15 years ago

our slipcovers need cleaning--we have a 2 year old and a dog and our slipcovers are light colored--so the dirt spots are pretty visible in areas. i was planning on having them dry cleaned but someone suggested stanley steamer. i wondered if anyone had experience to know if one would be better than the other?

thanks! amj.

Take one in and ask your dry cleaner what method s/he uses. I think Stanley Steamer just does "steam" cleaning, and your dry cleaner may use better methods--or may use methods that leave more chemical residue. It's a good question, especially with a toddler.
