    Why wouldn't you get them back on?
    Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.
  • They are so tight on the the foam cushion ,cant even get them off.and i am sure the zips would bust trying.

    For seats that I can't remove, I tend to use Vanish carpet mousse or an aerosol of car upholstery shampoo - you can often pick these up in Home Bargains
  • I know it is not very money saving but it really is worth having it professionally cleaned as it will make a new sofa out of it.

    My neighbour had hers done and it looked brand new and smelt wonderful.
