We recently bought the EKTORP sofa and loveseat last week. I was so excited about it and loved reading about your reviews about it. But my new couches smell! I thought the smell would go away after awhile, but it hasn't. I believe it's coming from the pressed wood frame and foam filling in the cushions. Did your couches smell like this at first too?<br />ThanksJenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983345920671280432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598930200339056121.post-1744282552457227352011-02-07T11:21:08.445-05:002011-02-07T11:21:08.445-05:00Oh, I do love my slipcovers, but I hate washing th...Oh, I do love my slipcovers, but I hate washing them, big pain!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808000825496796497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598930200339056121.post-14179208588691162102011-02-04T09:07:52.459-05:002011-02-04T09:07:52.459-05:00My grandmother has recently started hinting that I...My grandmother has recently started hinting that I should slipcover my sofa's.

Okay, first ...Thank you thank you for answering me! Okay, first of all, kudos to you for keeping your kiddoes off your furniture. I have the spirited types who, no matter how nice or mean I am, fling themselves all over ours. So, we have the Ektorp corner sofa w/the grey slipcover and LOVE it! That's why I wanted lighter covered armchairs to balance it out. Your post sealed the deal for me. Without question, I love the look of white, and now that I know your tricks for keeping them clean, I think I'm going to go for it! I've shopped all around, and for the price and decent quality, you just can't beat IKEA. And I love that you can buy a new or different color slipcover for so little...another reason to not worry! P.S. Your family rm looks lovely!Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007623379987512547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598930200339056121.post-2346978198773583342011-02-03T13:19:51.296-05:002011-02-03T13:19:51.296-05:00Thanks for the information on slipcovers.

I love the new look and the fabric cost me $150 to cover 2 chairs and a couch! Not too shabby! And so easy to clean! And when I get bored with the colors, I'll just do something else!

I might the next time we're in the market for a sofa, though. Supposedly the Ektorp slipcovers also fit the State Department's standard-issue Drexel Heritage sofas, which would be a plus for us. And there are options other than white, although your bleaching solution sounds like it works well.Z.

I love the look of yours, and we're going to be in the market for new couches in a year or two. Pretty hard to beat $69.lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635054930204348566noreply@blogger.com
