Buying the wrong size cover is the single most common mistake people make — and the most avoidable. Appliance covers are cut to fairly standard dimension bands, so once you know how to measure your appliance (or read a capacity rating), picking the right size takes two minutes. This guide walks through each product category we make, how to size it correctly, and how to keep it in good condition for years.

Why cover an appliance at all?
Appliances that sit in a kitchen, balcony, or utility area are exposed to dust, cooking splatter, direct sunlight, and — especially with top-load washing machines and open balconies — rain and monsoon humidity. A well-fitted cover does three things: keeps the exterior and control panel free of dust buildup (which affects both looks and, over time, the buttons themselves), protects the finish from sun fading and moisture, and reduces how often you need to deep-clean the appliance surface. It's a small, inexpensive habit that noticeably extends how new an appliance looks and functions.
Washing machine covers — sizing by load type and capacity
The two things that matter for a washing machine cover are (1) whether your machine is top-load or fully automatic front/top-load, and (2) its load capacity in kilograms, since that determines the machine's physical footprint.
| Machine capacity | Typical fit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 6 kg / 6.2 kg / 6.5 kg | Compact top-load machines | Common for smaller households; check your machine's width and height against the listing before ordering |
| 7 kg / 7.5 kg / 8 kg / 8.5 kg | Standard fully-automatic machines | The most common size band for Indian households — most listings are built around this range |
Fridge top covers — measuring your fridge's top surface
Fridge top covers are sized by the flat top surface of the refrigerator, not the fridge's overall height. Measure the width and depth of the top surface with a measuring tape, and pick a cover sized slightly larger than that so it drapes over the edges rather than sitting stretched tight. A cover with built-in storage pockets is worth prioritizing — it turns unused vertical space above the fridge into a spot for small kitchen items, without adding any extra footprint to your kitchen.
TV covers — sizing by screen inches
TV covers are sized by diagonal screen measurement in inches — the same number printed on the TV's box or spec sheet. A correctly sized cover should sit close to the frame without straining at the corners. Look for a cover with a cable cutout at the back or bottom; without one, you'll need to fully remove the cover every time you want to use a set-top box, game console, or soundbar connected to the TV, which defeats the point of daily use.
Table covers — measuring your table
Measure the table's length and width (and note the shape — rectangular, square, or round), then add a small overhang allowance of 1–2 inches per side if you want the cover to drape slightly over the edge rather than sitting flush. For daily-use dining tables, a wipeable waterproof fabric is worth prioritizing over a purely decorative one.
Material, cleaning and storage
Our covers use waterproof, dust-proof fabric designed for daily wear rather than occasional decorative use. A few care basics that keep any fabric cover looking new for longer:
- Cleaning: wipe with a damp cloth for everyday dust and light spills; for deeper cleaning, a mild detergent and lukewarm water works — avoid harsh bleach-based cleaners, which can fade prints over time.
- Drying: air-dry in shade rather than direct harsh sunlight if the cover gets fully wet, to preserve the print and fabric coating.
- Storage: when not in use, fold rather than crumple, and store somewhere dry to avoid mildew, especially during monsoon months.
Quick answers
Q: My washing machine capacity is between two listed sizes — which do I pick?
Go by the physical dimensions of your machine rather than the capacity label alone, since capacity-to-size isn't perfectly standardized across brands. If you're unsure, message us on WhatsApp with your machine's brand and model — we're happy to help you pick before you order.
Q: Will a slightly larger cover work fine, or should I size down?
A slightly larger cover is almost always the safer choice — it drapes properly and still protects fully. A cover that's too small will strain at seams and won't cover the appliance completely.
Q: Do you offer bulk pricing for retailers or resellers?
Yes — visit our Bulk Orders page to send your requirements directly.
