I realized that I could remove the cover from the cushion and have done so, but have a pretty huge wet area.
If your cushion covers come off, stick them in the laundry. I wash (and dry in dryer) my microfiber cushion covers all the time, come out like new. I have a 12 year old microfiber couch. Dying for a new one, but don't see the point until my kids are older.
