URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

New outdoor furniture cushion covers often arrive with stubborn wrinkles from packaging, but removing them is simple with these effective methods. For polyester or solution-dyed acrylic fabrics commonly used outdoors, using a garment steamer or steam iron on low heat is highly effective—hold the steamer 2-3 inches from the fabric while gently pulling the material taut. Alternatively, toss cushions in a dryer with a damp towel on low heat for 10-minute intervals, checking frequently. For quick fixes, commercial wrinkle release sprays work well—lightly mist the surface and smooth with your hands. Always check manufacturer care labels first, as some materials may require specific treatments. To prevent future wrinkles, store cushions flat in a dry place when not in seasonal use.
