Direct Answer
Some sofa fabric covers (performance polyester with zip closures) can be machine-washed at 30-40 degrees C at home in India. Check care label first. Never machine-wash: velvet (pile damage), linen (severe shrinkage), and leather or faux leather (material damage). Always air-dry covers rather than tumble-drying to prevent size change and shape distortion.
Understanding this is critical for Indian furniture buyers. Conditions in Indian homes including seasonal humidity variation, multi-generational use, Indian cooking proximity, and the 15-20 year ownership horizon all factor into furniture decisions differently than in European or American contexts.
Verify claims with documentation when buying premium furniture in India. Request foam density certificates, leather grade specifications, and frame material details from suppliers. SOISU provides full technical documentation on all products.
