You’ve found the perfect cushion cover. It feels soft, looks beautiful, and brings warmth to your home. Now comes the part most people overlook—keeping it that way.

Here’s the thing: a well-made cushion cover, if cared for right, can last for years. But even the best fabrics and designs will lose their charm if they’re not treated gently.

This isn’t just about cleaning—it’s about preserving the feeling your cushions bring into your space.

Let’s walk through exactly how to take care of your cushion covers so they age beautifully and stay as lovely as the day you got them.

1. Know what you’re working with

Not all cushion covers are made equal. Before you throw them into the wash, check the fabric.

Here’s how to care for the most common types:

• Velvet:
• Cotton or linen blends:
• Embroidered or beaded designs:
• Polyester blends:

At Noor Homes, we use premium blends that are soft and sturdy—but they still need a little love.

2. Spot clean smartly

If you spill something, don’t panic. But don’t let it sit either.

• Blot (don’t rub) the stain gently with a clean cloth.
• Use a mild soap solution—just a few drops of liquid detergent in water.
• Test the solution on an inside corner first.
• Use a soft cloth to dab the stain and then blot dry with a towel.

3. Washing: less is more

Cushion covers don’t need to be washed every week. Unless there’s a spill, you can get away with cleaning them every few months.

Before washing:

• Always remove the filler.
• Zip it closed to protect the edges.
• Turn the cover inside out to protect embroidery, printing, or texture.

4. Ironing and steaming: gentle is key

If your cushion cover wrinkles, go slow.

• Cotton and linen:
• Velvet:
• Embroidery:

At Noor Homes, many of our pieces use soft velvet and threadwork that respond best to patience, not pressure.

5. When to replace

If the stitching starts to loosen or the fabric starts to pill badly, it may be time to retire a piece.

That said, many quality cushion covers (especially from Noor Homes) are designed to age well. They don’t look old—they look lived in. There’s a difference.

Still, trust your eye. When it no longer feels beautiful, swap it with something that does.

Final thought

Caring for your cushion covers isn’t a chore, it’s part of the ritual of slow, intentional living.

So wash gently. Store kindly. Rotate with love.
And let your home continue to hold beauty that lasts.

That’s what Noor is about.
