What is a slipcover?

A slipcover, alternatively called loose cover, is a protective covering that can be slipped on and off on a piece of furniture. It can simply be termed as 'clothing for an item'. These are usually made of washable, sturdy fabric. They are available for sofas, loveseats, recliners, straight-back chairs, and arm chairs. They provide an innovative way to decorate and protect pieces of furniture. Moreover, beautiful slipcovers are available for candles. Slipcover manufacturing can be called a cottage industry, as small groups can easily make them in homes.

Slipcovers for a candle

Glass candleholders can be turned into chic accessories by dressing them in decorative cloth material. Natural-fiber fabric scraps, like cotton or linen, are coated with spray starch, and ironed. Then, once a fabric has become stiff, they cut out a rectangle sufficiently big to wrap around a candleholder. A slight overlap is allowed at the meeting point of the ends. Then they wrap around the holder, and with the help of double-sided tape, join fabric ends. Their main purpose is decoration.

People have been using candles for decades, as they light the home and warm the spirit. They come in every possible shape, style, and size. No wonder, their slipcovers have a wide variety, color and feel. Their purpose is to protect the candle flame from wind. Internet is the best option to search for and buy candle slipcovers. Various websites available on Internet showcase slipcover pictures and prices.

Maintenance

It is recommended that a slipcover should be washed on a regular basis. It should be protected from direct sunlight, as it may cause fabrics to fade unevenly. Moreover, club soda or water should be used for spills on fabric. When washing, it is advisable to use a triple load washer, mild detergent, and cold water. Also, it should be dried in triple load dryer on medium to low heat. In case of dry cleanable slipcovers, it is recommended to use a professional, reputable dry cleaner.
