White vinegar will help remove calcium deposits.

I had some candle wax stains on mine when i got it and was recemmended to put a damp towel over it and use an iron. It worked awesome!

If you wash them in the machine, lay them out to dry...don't use the dryer. The covers will shrink up, especially if the material has a backing to it. Put them back on the cushions while they are still partially damp to make sure they retain their shape.

Yeah I second what Fireman said. Most of these fabrics are really dry clean only. I would take them to the dry cleaners for the safest method.
