Cleaning cushions on urban outdoor furniture that's exposed to soot and dust requires a methodical approach. First, remove the cushions and brush off loose dirt and debris outdoors. Check the manufacturer's care label; if machine washable, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. For non-removable or spot cleaning, create a cleaning solution with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap or a specialized upholstery cleaner. Test it on a small, hidden area first. Using a soft-bristled brush, gently scrub the solution into the fabric, focusing on stained areas. For stubborn soot, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied before scrubbing. Avoid soaking the cushions. Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth or a hose on a low, gentle setting to remove all soap residue, as leftover soap can attract more dirt. Squeeze out excess water without wringing. Allow the cushions to air dry completely in the sun, which helps prevent mildew. Ensure they are fully dry on all sides before placing them back on the furniture. For future protection, consider applying a fabric protector spray designed for outdoor use to create a barrier against stains and moisture. Regular brushing and prompt attention to spills will also help maintain their appearance.
