Outdoor furniture is generally treated so that is can withstand the elements and can maintain its lustrous appearance throughout the rain and sun. Normal fabric cannot hold up to being exposed to the outdoors for prolonged periods of time. They are either coated or treated with synthetic fabrics such as polyacrylic, vinyl, open-weave polyesters, or even polyvinyl chloride, better known as PVC. Older Sunbrella chair cushions are not made with these newer materials, so make sure that your new replacement outdoor cushions are.
These cushions are almost completely weatherproof and exude their beauty all year round. Our Sunbrella outdoor cushions are designed to provide years of excellence while retaining the softness and plush of spun cotton. Other outdoor cushions can be bulky and uncomfortable, but Sunbrella fabrics eliminate this problem.
Cleaning Your Sunbrella Outdoor Cushions
Although Sunbrella makes an extremely durable and long lasting cushion, the fabric still needs to be cleaned and properly maintained. These steps will ensure that you won't need more replacement outdoor cushions in the near future:
- Rinse off dust and dirt as needed with a wet washcloth
- Wipe off spills and food immediately to prevent mold and mildew
- Spot clean after stains occur
- Sunbrella outdoor cushions can have their covers removed and machine-washed with cold water to remove stubborn stains
- Fabric will air dry within a couple of minutes after being machine-washed; do not put in dryer
Following these simple steps will guarantee that your new cushions will have a long life and that you'll be able to enjoy them for many years to come.
