How To Clean Sunbrella Chair Cushions: A Personal Experience

During the summer, I spend a lot of time outside on my patio furniture, which includes a set of sunbrella chair cushions. Over time, these cushions begin to accumulate dirt, stains, and other debris that can be difficult to clean. After trying a few different methods, I’ve found the best way to clean sunbrella chair cushions.

Step by Step Guide

What You’ll Need:

Mild detergent
Bucket
Soft-bristle brush
Water hose

1. Remove the cushions from the chairs and place them on a clean, flat surface.

2. In a bucket, mix 2 tablespoons of mild detergent with 1 gallon of warm water.

3. Use the soft-bristle brush to gently apply the detergent solution to the cushions.

4. Rinse the cushions thoroughly with a water hose.

5. Stand the cushions on their sides and allow them to air-dry completely before placing them back on the chairs.

Top 10 Tips and Ideas

Always use a mild detergent to avoid damaging the sunbrella fabric.
Spot clean stains as soon as they occur to prevent them from setting into the fabric.

Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals on sunbrella fabric.
