I have five cats, all with long hair, and my furniture looked spectacular with old sheets and towels on it (NOT!).  I sent for this, put it on the furniture (awesome).  Yesterday Bucky lost his lunch on it, so the final test was upon me.  It had to be washed, I washed on warm, dried on permanent press and voila, it didn't shrink and came out like new.  Needs a bit of an iron, but I'll just cover the wrinkles with cats.  Amazing product and thank you for giving me my furniture back.
