How to use a RapCo
(and keep it in good condition)

To apply a RapCo takes one person a couple of minutes to put on. It is quicker to apply than a plastic bag and 2 experienced removalists can apply the RapCo 200 to a sofabed in around 60 seconds from start to finish. This page contains step-by-step instructions to cover your sofa or chair with a RapCo. Download the instructions as a pdf here.

Always pick up a RapCoed Sofa (dragging will scuff out the nylon where the sofa legs contact the ground. This is literally where the rubber hits the road)
When not in use make sure the retractable straps are fully inside their pockets. (the smooth Velcro is exposed on the RapCo but the hook side is sewn onto the retractable straps. Hook Velcro sticks to everything and if a lot of lint or fabric gets stuck it stops working as well)
