Your living room is that place to relax, a stress-free refuge where you can spend time with family and friends, but also some time alone reading a good book. To make your life easier, at IKEA we have created easy care.
Cleaning your sofa has never been so simple
At IKEA we know the importance of always keeping your sofa clean, which is why we offer you removable and washable covers. But we know that there are sofas with fixed upholstery, and for those cases we present easy care, a simple and affordable solution that will make your life at home easier.

BÅRSLÖV, the first sofa that repels liquids
We present our first item with the special easy care treatment, the new BÅRSLÖV sofa. Your TIBBELBY cover becomes even better with this innovative treatment, because it combines the elegance of a fixed upholstery with the durability of a fabric specially designed to last many many years like the first day.
Remember that is a treatment that does not apply to all series with the TIBBELBY cover. Keep this in mind when choosing your sofa.

Do you need more information about our easy care treatment?
What does "easy care" mean?
"Easy care" implies that the fabric has been treated with chemicals to repel liquids. This keeps liquids on the surface, making cleaning easier and preventing stains.
What chemicals have been used?
The treatment is based on a liquid repellent for fabrics obtained from renewable and non-fluorinated sources. It is toxin-free and safe for humans and animals.
Will the easy care treatment resist all water-based stains?
The treatment will resist most water-based stains. However, liquids like coffee, which contains solid coffee bean particles, may leave residue stains. There is also a slight risk of wine causing stains due to its alcohol and organic color substances, although its resistance has been tested.
