Caring for outdoor cushions is essential to ensure their longevity and maintain their appearance. By following these steps, you can keep your outdoor cushions in excellent condition:

• Regular Cleaning: Begin by removing loose dirt and debris from the cushions using a brush or a handheld vacuum cleaner. This step helps prevent dirt from embedding into the fabric.

• Spot Cleaning: If you notice any stains or spills on the cushions, address them promptly. Blot the affected area with a clean cloth or sponge to remove as much of the stain as possible. Avoid rubbing, as it can push the stain further into the fabric. For stubborn stains, you may use a mild detergent mixed with water. Test the detergent on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't cause any discoloration or damage. After spot cleaning, rinse the area thoroughly with clean water and let it air dry.

• Deep Cleaning: Periodically, give your outdoor cushions a thorough cleaning. Remove the covers if possible and check the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning guidelines. In most cases, you can hand wash the covers with a mild detergent and warm water. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage the fabric. Rinse the covers thoroughly and allow them to air dry before reinserting the cushion inserts.

• Storing During Inclement Weather: To protect your outdoor cushions from harsh weather conditions, it's advisable to store them when not in use. If possible, bring the cushions indoors or store them in a dry, covered area such as a shed or garage. If you have limited storage space, invest in cushion storage bags or containers that are specifically designed to protect outdoor cushions from moisture, dust, and UV rays.

• UV Protection: All of Salt Sun Sand’s cushions have inbuilt UV protection however our goal is for your investment to last as long as possible. Sunlight can cause fading and deterioration of outdoor cushions over time. Consider applying a fabric protectant or UV spray to shield the cushions from harmful UV rays. Additionally, providing shade or using patio umbrellas can help minimize direct sun exposure and extend the lifespan of your cushions.

• Preventive Measures: To prevent excessive wear and tear, avoid placing heavy objects on the cushions or sitting on them with sharp objects in your pockets. Encourage guests to remove items like keys, pens, or other potentially damaging objects before using the cushions. Also, avoid dragging or pulling the cushions across rough surfaces, as this can cause abrasion and fraying.

• Regular Fluffing: Outdoor cushions often have foam or polyester fiberfill inserts that can flatten over time. To maintain their shape and comfort, regularly fluff and rotate the cushions. This simple step helps distribute the filling evenly and prevents lumps or sagging.

By following these care instructions, you can enjoy your outdoor cushions for many seasons to come. Remember, preventive maintenance, regular cleaning, and proper storage are key to preserving their appearance and functionality.
