Cleaning upholstery (Westerly Merlin)

[DanGo1]

<p>
<!--StartFragment-->One of the long cushions in the aft cabin got a bit damp at one end (and
a bit smelly), so I've brought it back home to dry out. As far as I
know it's the original Westerly cushion and cover. I've unzipped the
cover; it's now dry but still a bit smelly. It would be good to wash it,
and I guess I might as well do the other cushion covers while I'm at
it. But it is a *very* snug fit on the foam and the zip is a rather
wimpy one. Any shrinkage would mean I couldn't get the covers back on at
all, or without probably busting the zip.<br>
Question - can I get away with a cold wash in a domestic washing machine, or do they have to be dry cleaned?<br>

I usually use a professional crew for these types of things. But with the pandemic raging on and all the different lock-downs it has been really a hard time for everyone not only with upholstery but with a regular apartment clean out. I myself have been looking for a good cleaning crew to clean out and disinfect the apartment I'm renting out before new tenants move in. I was renting it out to a couple from Croatia and they recently decided to move back home so I ended up with an empty apartment.
I have actually been in the process of looking for a company that provides cleaning services especially after someone moves out.
. Before I start hunting for new ones I need to make sure that the apartment is clean and spotless. I have been looking online for potential <a href="https://endoftenancycleaningnearme.co.uk/areas/west-london/">move out cleaners West London</a> based (since I live in West London) and there are actually a few decent options but I am still not sure. If you guys have any advice please do share your experiences. It would be greatly appreciated
