After investing in chair covers for your big event, preserving your investment is important. See our handy tips below on how to take care of your chair covers so they continue to spark joy for you and your guests for years to come.
Always wash polyester chair covers on the delicate or gentle cycle, and use a front-load washer or an agitator-free top-load washer when possible. The chair covers can wrap around the agitator and put extra stress on the fabric (and extra stress on you trying to untangle it from the washer).
Wash chair covers of the same color together to protect against the unlikely occurrence of the dye running. Also, wash in cold water, unless there are large greasy food stains. Then, pre-treat with dish soap and wash in warm water.
Dry cleaning is safe for our Polyester Chair Covers.
Always dry polyester chair covers on the delicate or gentle cycle, then remove them from the dryer when they are still SLIGHTLY damp. This will allow you to more easily iron the chair covers.
Polyester chair covers need to be ironed before using in order to create a professional presentation. Here’s the best way to get them crease-free for your big day.
You’ll need to choose the highest setting your fabric can handle. Polyester chair covers should be ironed on the synthetic-blend setting which is usually a medium heat (100% cotton can handle higher heat while delicates need very low heat).
Test the heat setting first on an inside seam to ensure the heat is correct.
To best ensure a fabulous presentation (and reduce the risk of damaging your chair covers), turn the cover inside out and iron on the reverse side of the chair cover in back and forth motions. Avoid circular motions which tend to stretch the fabric. For stubborn creases, wet the area with a spray bottle first or try a garment steamer instead. If wrinkles are stubborn, you can also try steaming to relax the fabric fibers and get the toughest wrinkles out.
A little TLC when storing your chair covers will reduce your time and effort making them presentable the next time you need to use them.
Use dry-cleaning hangers (the ones with cardboard struts used for pants) to minimize creases. Very gently fold your chair cover in half or into thirds and drape it over the hanger strut. Use one chair cover per hanger.
If you prefer to fold and stack your chair covers, make sure that they are completely dry before folding to prevent deep creases. Also, if you do fold and stack, you will need to iron them before their next use.
Always wash spandex chair covers on the delicate or gentle cycle, and use a front-load washer or an agitator-free top-load washer when possible. Chair covers can wrap around the agitator and put extra stress on the fabric (and extra stress on you trying to untangle it from the washer).
Wash chair covers of the same color together to protect against the unlikely occurrence of the dye running. Ensure that only spandex chair covers are washed together to avoid snags (i.e., no zippers, no buttons). Also, wash in cold water, unless there are large greasy food stains. Then, pre-treat with dish detergent.
Dry cleaning is NOT safe for our Spandex Chair Covers. Also, chlorine bleach destroys spandex fibers. If you must use bleach, use oxygen-based bleach such as Oxi-Clean or Clorox 2.
Never place spandex chair covers in a hot dryer. The heat can permanently wrinkle or damage the material. Instead, hang your spandex chair covers to drip-dry away from direct heat and sun or dry flat. If quicker drying is necessary, only use a very low temperature on a machine dryer and check the garment frequently.
Never use fabric softener or dryer sheets with spandex chair covers, as they can leave a residue that will dull the finish and attract bacteria.
Your spandex chair cover is wrinkle-resistant, and heat can ruin the spandex fibers. Don’t iron your spandex chair covers.

Always wash satin chair covers on the delicate or gentle cycle, and use a front-load washer or an agitator-free top-load washer when possible. Chair covers can wrap around the agitator and put extra stress on the fabric (and extra stress on you trying to untangle it from the washer).
Wash chair covers of the same color together to protect against the unlikely occurrence of the dye running. Ensure that only chair covers are washed together to avoid snags (i.e., no zippers, no buttons). Also, wash in cold water, unless there are large greasy food stains. Then, pre-treat with mild dish soap.
Dry cleaning is safe for our Satin Chair Covers.
Never place satin chair covers in a hot dryer. The heat can damage the material. Instead, hang your satin chair covers to drip-dry away from direct heat and sunlight or dry flat. If quicker drying is necessary, only use a very low temperature on a machine dryer and check the garment frequently.
Satin chair covers need to be ironed before using in order to create a professional presentation. Here’s the best way to get them crease-free for your big day.
Satin chair covers should be ironed on the low or medium-low setting (100% cotton can handle higher heat while delicates like satin need low heat).
Test the heat setting first on an inside seam to ensure the heat is correct.
To best ensure a fabulous presentation (and reduce the risk of damaging your chair covers), turn the cover inside out and iron on the reverse side of the chair cover. Always use a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric. Use back and forth motions. Avoid circular motions which tend to stretch the fabric.
