its easy, only 2 bits that arent are the 2 centre section, i.e bottom bolster, and back upright section, as the material is attached to the foam with splayed staples, i left the cloth on the foam and washed everything by hand in the bath



and they came out like new.

persil does wonders

I need to get mine done. Also got new side bolster cushions to go on.

Think i'll just give it to my mate and get them to do it - seeing as tho they retrim leather interiors at least i know it will be done properly
