The easy-to-maintain outdoor cushions are available in a variety of colors and textures. The colorfast, durable fabric weave with solvent-based dyed acrylic fiber is attractive and pleasant to touch. These fabrics are resistant to sun damage and mildew. The padding is usually composed of polyester fiber or quick-drying foam plastic and polyester film. The cleaning technology of these outdoor cushions is simple and affordable. Although chlorine bleach can be safely used on the most stubborn stains, in most cases, environmentally friendly cleaning agents are effective.
The easiest way to avoid complicated cleaning operations is to maintain the mat every day. Brush the surface of the mat with a broom frequently to reduce stains left by insects and plant debris. When the cushions are wetted by a sudden shower, turn them over to speed up the drying time. If an accidental leak occurs, it should be blotted dry with paper towels or a clean cloth as soon as possible. Put a spray bottle on hand, add 4 glasses of water, 1 teaspoon of cleansing detergent and 1 tablespoon of borax. When a troublesome area appears, spray with this solution, let it soak for 15 minutes, and then rinse with cold water to remove soap residue. Place the cushion on the side to dry.
Over time, the cushion will become dirty or discolored, but can be updated by thorough cleaning. Cleaning the cushions before storage in winter can ensure that there is no problem at the beginning of spring. Non-removable cushion cover, sponge surface with ¼ cup of clear liquid detergent solution in 1 gallon of warm water. Soak the foam in the fabric with a sponge, then rinse thoroughly with a high-pressure garden hose to remove detergent residues. Place the mat on the side to dry. Hand wash with removable pad cover, soak ¼ cup of clear liquid warm water per gallon in the solution. Wash thoroughly to remove detergent residues, then air dry. Machine wash the removable cushion cover, adjust the water temperature to cool, use a normal amount of washing powder, add 1 cup of chlorine bleach each time, and finally air dry.
