Washing the Kivik: Take II
As I mentioned before, I tried to wash my Kivik sofa, but it wasn’t a complete success. So today I tried again.
The chocolate milk stains didn’t come out at all, and since my last wash,
it has collected a few little finger shaped pizza grease spots. This time around, I bleached it.
Now, even though it explicitly says do not bleach. I took it apart, and poured bleach directly over each of the stained areas, then used the little pen to spot clean parts on the right arm because I didn’t feel like going through the process of disassembling that arm too that side didn’t need to be washed.
At any rate, about an hour later, the chocolate milk stains were gone and my Kivik was clean.
I haven’t experienced any issues with shrinkage, or anything else so far. And I’ve tossed mine in the dryer…even though the care instructions say not to. I love my little Kivik.
Now just have to work on my lighting…but I’ll save that for another day.
