Hairy cushions and throw

Hiya i was wondering if any of you could help me! I have a set of hairy cream cushions and a throw and they are in desperate need of a wash. They do not have any washing instructions on them, so i was wondering if anyone knows how to wash them? I was thinking of a delicates wash with just some fabric conditioner in it to freshen them up? also the backing on them in sort of a feux suede. Any tips welcome! thanx in advance

    I have some cushions which I wash then brush with a soft hair brush, sound similar to mine as they have a feux suede backing aswell. I use a normal wash & normal washing powder/conditioner. As always you would do so at your own risk but I'd say it's definately worth trying one first just incase.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I've got a cushion like this and I've just had a look at the label inside - it says the 'fur' bit is 100% acrylic and the backing is 100% polyester. It says you can wash it at 40 degrees in a wool cycle, and cool iron (I assume this means the back, not the fur). Do not tumble dry and do not soak. Hope this helps!
