cleaning sofa covers with non-bio

iwanttosave_2

I have got a new sofa (well nearly new) off my mother and she said that the covers have to be washed in non-bio, but to tell you the truth i dont think that the stains will shift without using bio.

What will happen if i use bio, washing mashine is loaded and ready to go just need this advice. They are cream/oatmeal in colour so i can't see them fading.

Any help out there?

do the covers cover the whole sofa(frame as well) or are you just washing the cushion covers,if its just the cushion covers then bio can make them a lighter colour than the frame,we used to have a carpet and upholstery cleaning business and we recommended Dreft automatic for sofas because it is kinder to fabrics.
