The sofa and slipcover are from IKEA. I do end up washing the shipcover about two to three times during the summer and fall when we have everything this set up in the porch. The slipcovers wash easily in my washing machine at home, I don't have to go to use an industrial washer or anything. In the winter we move everythign into the middle of the porch, move the cushions and pillows in the house and then we cover all the furniture left on the porch with a huge tarp.
