ive washed Mia's about 10 times (grrr shes only had it for about 6 months!).. ive chucked it in the wash before, cover and all. Was fine, cleaned fine, just took ages to dry. So now i just wash the cover.

My cat peed on Mia's last couch and i couldnt get the smell out, so it went to the tip. I was fuming as she only had it about a week.
