Cushion & Sling Care and Maintenance

To keep your cushions and slings looking great for years to come, we recommend some minimal care. Use the information below as a guide for spot cleaning your outdoor furniture cushions and slings.

Cushion Care and Maintenance

Wipe up minor spills with a mild soap and damp cloth. Although the fabric has been treated against stains, over time you may have to use commercially available liquid cleansers. Follow the manufacturer's directions. The best way to maintain the beauty of your cushions or slings for years is to store them in a dry area out of the elements, or cover them with commercially available furniture covers when not in use. If your furniture is being used in areas where birds and trees are plentiful, covering the cushion is especially recommended.

To assure proper and expedient drying of wet cushions, it is recommended that the cushions be turned on their sides to allow water to shed.

Sling Care and Maintenance

Acrylic, SunStop, Acrylic Jacquards, Olefin, Polyester/Acrylic, Polyester/Olefin, Shadebrella, Textra, Elbertex, and Leisuretex fabrics should be cleaned periodically with a solution of mild liquid dish detergent and warm water. Always rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. For mildew and stubborn stains: prepare a mild solution of 1 (one) cup bleach plus two capfuls of mild liquid dish detergent (Joy, Dawn, Ivory Liquid) per gallon of warm water. Brush or sponge the fabric. Always rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Do not scrub with a stiff bristle brush. Do not use a bleach solution that is any stronger than noted above or any harsh or solvent-based cleaners.

Acrylic Prints and Polyester Prints fabrics should be cleaned periodically with a mild solution of liquid dish detergent mixed with warm water. Brush or sponge the fabric lightly, do not scrub. Always rise thoroughly and allow to air dry. Do not use bleach, harsh or solvent-based cleaners or water temperatures in excess of 100 degrees. Do not put cushion, sling or umbrella fabric into the swimming pool.

To prolong the life and beauty of your fabrics we recommend that a towel be placed over the cushion fabric when using any tanning or insect repellent products. Should any of these products come in contact with the fabric, wash and rinse immediately as noted above.
