easy to remove, about 20 mins to strip a seat.

there held on by long plastic clips.

only hard bit to remove the cloth from the foam is the centre sections as the material is stappled to them.

so im my opinion leave the material on the foam on the centres when you wash them.

will take a couple of days to dry infront of a radiator, but well worth the effort

i put them in the bath.

with persil tablet, and scubbed them with a soft bristled brush.

used, luke warm water, and rinsed them through with cold.

left them to dry for a few days and then put them back on.

good as new.
