IKEA EKTORP cover for ottoman instructions

The Ektorp cover may not fit properly if the measurements on the packaging do not match your ottoman. To adjust the cover, try gently stretching or tucking it to fit your ottoman. If the cover still does not fit, you can return it to IKEA for an exchange or refund. Bring your receipt and the cover to your nearest IKEA store, and they will be able to assist you with the return process. Make sure to check the return policy before attempting to return the item

The EKTORP cover for the ottoman in the Videslund multicolor pattern can be machine washed and tumble dried. The fabric is durable and designed to withstand regular home laundering. Simply remove the cover, wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle, and then tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the fabric over time. With proper care, the cover should maintain its vibrant colors and soft texture

To install the EKTORP cover on your ottoman, first make sure the cover is the correct size for your ottoman. Locate the zipper on the cover and fully unzip it. Carefully place the cover over the ottoman, ensuring the cover is centered and the zipper is aligned properly. Slowly zip up the cover, making sure not to catch any fabric in the zipper. Once fully zipped, adjust the cover as needed to ensure a smooth, wrinkle-free fit. If you have any trouble with the installation, refer to the care instructions provided with the cover or contact IKEA customer service for further assistance

The Allen key is required to remove and reattach the cover on the EKTORP ottoman. Without the Allen key, it can be challenging to access the screws that secure the cover. However, you may be able to find a suitable replacement Allen key at a hardware store that matches the size needed for your EKTORP ottoman. Alternatively, you could try using a similar tool, such as a hex wrench, that can fit the screws. Just be cautious when attempting to remove the cover without the proper tool to avoid damaging the furniture

To remove the old cover from your Ektorp ottoman without damage, start by locating the zippers or fasteners on the underside of the ottoman. Gently unzip or unfasten the cover, taking care not to pull too hard. If the cover is still stuck, try using a flat-head screwdriver to carefully pry the cover away from the ottoman frame, working slowly and evenly around the edges. Avoid using excessive force, as this could tear the fabric. Once the old cover is removed, you can then attach the new Videslund multicolor cover by aligning it and securing the fasteners
