Removable and washable sofa trains - how does it work?

Removable and washable sofa covers

The Livom sofa- perfect for children's and teenagers' room

The Livom sofas are perfect for the children's room. We offer different colors and modules that can be integrated into the children's room according to your wishes. Many of our sofas offer a sleep function, so that even spontaneous overnight guests can sleep comfortably.

The sofa cushions can be removed without much effort, maybe the sofa will soon become a knight's castle, a robber's den or a trampoline? There are no limits to your child's creativity. And if something goes wrong, the covers can be completely removed and washed thanks to a simple Velcro system. Children from a young age can help you with this. This promotes independence.
The next adventure won't be long in coming.

But also in the youth room our sofas make a good impression. Their simple design enhances your teen's room without taking up too much space. Here, too, we can say: overnight guests, welcome. With a few simple steps, the sofa becomes a comfortable place to sleep.

Washable covers - perfect for allergy sufferers

People with allergies do not have it easy. Constant sneezing, coughing and watery eyes disturb a cozy round with friends. On top of that, it saps your strength and quickly leads to tiredness and fatigue.

With our washable sofa covers you can counteract this. Dust mites and pollen are washed out of the covers in no time and the evening can start.

Are you looking for an allergy-friendly sofa bed? Restful sleep is extremely important. If we do not sleep enough, it affects the entire body. Heart rate and blood pressure increase, good mood decreases. In addition, our long-term memory deteriorates and our attention span decreases. We complete tasks more unreliably and inaccurately.

For a restful sleep for allergy sufferers, we recommend washing the covers once or twice a week. That way, allergies won't get in your way.

Best for animal lovers

Has your cat sharpened its claws on the back of the sofa instead of the scratching post? Does your dog jump into puddles and then onto your favorite sofa cushion? Does your budgie prefer to eat the grains from your hand while you read a book?

Animals make a mess, that's no secret. However, conventional sofas are not so easy to clean. For hours you try to remove the stains with home remedies and chemical bombs from the drugstore, often without success. Many pet owners then buy cheaper sofas and as soon as the pet has had a good romp on them, a new one. This is bad for the bank account and for the ecological footprint. The average German produces 200 kg of CO₂ per year just by buying textiles. It would be nice if we could reduce this figure.

Did your cat mistake the sofa cushion for a mouse and bite holes in it? Then order the exact cover you need and help reduce CO₂ emissions without sacrificing a stylish home.

Interest in replaceable and washable sofa covers is on the rise

More and more people are becoming interested in sustainability. They are conscious of the environment and fed up with the throwaway society. Not long ago, people took disposable lint rollers to remove pet hair from the sofa. The eco-balance of the rollers is poor. The plastic is rarely made from recycled materials, the glue is not vegan and full of pollutants.

What covers are available and how do they differ?

We offer you three different types of fabric: Vellare, Mollia and Cotton.

The Vellare fabric has the advantage of being extremely durable. It is tightly woven, so hair from people and animals stays on the surface and does not penetrate the fabric. Safety bonus: The fabric is flame retardant, giving you, your family and friends extra safety.

Our Mollia fabrics are soft and rather velvety. Because the fabric is line woven, many stains can be cleaned with just a damp rag or household cloth. This fabric also declares war on annoying hair. Due to the tight weave, hairs find their way only with difficulty and remain on the surface. Also claws or teeth have no chance with the Mollia fabric.

We also offer you sofa covers made of Cotton. How to Cotton to the skin, you already know. The fashion industry has been thrilled with this durable fabric for centuries. Cotton is excellent to clean, absorbs odors of your favorite detergent for a long time and is also flame retardant. And also this fabric is suitable for your household with animals.

Tips for the care of removable sofa covers

Our sofa covers are very durable, so you can't do much wrong. But to make sure you get the most out of our products for as long as possible, here are a few tips for you:

The right washing machine program

If the cover is only slightly soiled, you can wash it at 20-30 degrees with a clear conscience. Light stains such as yogurt or dust can be removed well at 20 degrees and the material is not overstressed. If the fabric is very dirty, you can wash it at 30 degrees. This kills almost all bacteria and thus provides some extra cleanliness in your home.

If the fabric only smells unpleasant, for example after smoking a cigarette, then it can be washed at 20 degrees. This program is also recommended so as not to pollute the environment unnecessarily.

How often should I wash the covers?

That is entirely up to you. For allergy sufferers, it is recommended to wash the covers once a week. Also, if you have people with sensitive immune systems in your household, you can wash the covers more often to avoid unnecessary risks.
