City living means your outdoor furniture cushions battle constant grime, dust, and pollution. This sticky layer of city smog requires a specific cleaning approach. First, always check the manufacturer's care label. For general cleaning, start by thoroughly vacuuming the cushions to remove loose soot and particulate matter. Create a cleaning solution using warm water and a mild dish soap or a dedicated upholstery cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade fabrics. Test any solution on a small, hidden area first. Using a soft-bristled brush, gently scrub the solution into the fabric, focusing on stained areas. For stubborn pollution stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied before scrubbing. Crucially, rinse thoroughly with a hose or damp cloth to remove all soap residue, which can attract more dirt. Allow cushions to dry completely in the sun before use to prevent mold. For long-term protection, consider applying a fabric protector designed for outdoor use. Regular maintenance, such as weekly vacuuming and prompt spot-cleaning of fresh stains, will significantly reduce deep cleaning needs and extend the life of your cushions against urban elements.
