Looking for Chair Cushions?
FAQs
How do you care for your cushions?
Proper care and maintenance will keep your outdoor cushions looking fresh and comfortable for years to come. Follow these simple steps to protect your investment and ensure lasting durability.
Regular Cleaning
Keep your cushions free from dirt and debris by brushing off loose particles or using a handheld vacuum. This prevents dust from settling into the fabric and helps maintain their pristine appearance.
Spot Cleaning
Address spills and stains immediately. Blot the affected area with a clean cloth or sponge—avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fabric. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water, testing it on a small, hidden area first to avoid discoloration. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water and let the cushion air dry.
Deep Cleaning
For a more thorough clean, remove cushion covers (if applicable) and follow the manufacturer's care instructions. In most cases, handwashing with a mild detergent and warm water is recommended. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can weaken the fabric. Rinse well and allow covers to air dry completely before reassembling.
Storage & Weather Protection
To extend the life of your cushions, store them in a dry, covered area when not in use—especially during heavy rain or extreme weather. If indoor storage isn't an option, invest in weatherproof storage bags or containers designed to protect against moisture, dust, and UV exposure.
UV Protection
All Salt Sun Sand cushions are designed with built-in UV protection, but additional care can help prolong their lifespan. Exposure to direct sunlight over time can cause fading and fabric breakdown. Consider applying a fabric protectant or UV spray for added defense, and use patio umbrellas or shade structures to reduce direct sun exposure.
Preventative Care
Avoid placing heavy objects on your cushions.
Remove sharp items (keys, pens, etc.) from pockets before sitting to prevent punctures.
Refrain from dragging cushions across rough surfaces, which can cause fraying or abrasion.
Fluffing & Maintenance
Cushion inserts, whether foam or fiberfill, can flatten with regular use. To maintain their shape and comfort, fluff and rotate cushions regularly. This ensures even distribution of the filling and prevents sagging.
By following these simple care tips, you can keep your outdoor cushions looking and feeling great season after season. A little maintenance goes a long way in preserving both their beauty and functionality.
