We have the Sunbrella Performance Chenille in Cloud on the curved Buchanan sectional. It is 3 years old. Daily use from 2 adults, 3 big fluffy dogs, and 2 cats. Lots of use from visiting family with children and elderly adults. Stains come up with Woolite/water mix. It does get dirty over time. I risked it and took off all the covers and machine washed them with Woolite. I dried on air only. They came out great. I have done this twice. We have a front load LG with a delicate cycle and option for tap water cold. We have well water.

I thought I’d post an update if anyone is interested. Initially I had decided on the PB performance Heathered Basketweave in alabaster, which is slightly darker than the ivory. I sat in an Ayden slipcovered rocker glider in the store that was pretty comfortable and was thinking of this chair as a good option. The slipcover also still had a fairly tailored look. We decided to stop in another local furniture store as well and sat in all the chairs on display a’la Goldilocks. By far the most comfortable chair was a Rowe upholstered rocker glider (Kara) in a Crypton fabric (Nomad Snow) that was fairly light-colored but had some other colors woven in that I thought would help disguise dirt a little. The chairs were also kept in stock for quick delivery. The selling point was a program ($300 up front for 2 chairs) that would offer a 5 year warranty with the store arranging for any cleaning or replacement needed during that time. Rowe also has another identical looking chair in a slipcovered version I could order if I wanted to go that route as well. Before going back to the store to arrange the purchase, we decided to go all-out with removing the seat and back cushion covers and washing them in the machine with Oxiclean. This is specifically discouraged by the manufacturer but we decided at this point what did we have to lose? This actually helped a lot. Not perfect but greatly improved. We couldn’t do this with the body of the chair but used a bunch of Folex and even Bissell Pro Oxi Power Shot to try and get the grunge out there. Got some improvement though not 100%. I plan to get it professionally cleaned and in the meanwhile have put some fleece pet blankets I bought at Pottery Barn down to protect from the dog. We’re thinking we can hopefully get a few more years out of these chairs and go for the Rowe chair with the protection plan through our local furniture chair when it’s time for replacement.

@mspolver Although I have not made a purchase yet (still waiting on PB to offer a discount) I have decided on the Ivory Performance Cozy Chenille. The Pebble Heathered Chenille is a no go! I did a pour test on the samples with a red drink. The Pebble Heathered Chenille soaked up immediately. However, it beaded up on top of the Ivory Performance Cozy Chenille & I was able to soak up the drink with a towel with no staining left behind. I was nervous about the lighter color but after testing a few things on the samples I am more confident with my selection of the Ivory Performance Cozy Chenille. Please keep me updated with your selection as well.

I am planning to get the slipcovered sofa
