How To Care For Cushions

When you are not using them, keep them covered or within. This keeps them from getting damaged by ultraviolet light and prevents excessive dirt grime, moss, grime and mildew from growing on them. Clean them whenever they’re filthy or at least once each year before storing them. A couple of times Home Improvement per year is ideal unless they require it more often. Don’t allow heavy objects to rest on your cushions for extended durations of time. This will hasten the cushions to deflate prematurely.
