Outdoor Upholstered Furniture Care Instructions
With regular care and protection from the elements, your outdoor upholstered furniture will retain its comfort and appearance for longer.
Regular Care
- Remove dust, sand, and debris regularly using a soft brush or vacuum attachment.
- Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth: avoid rubbing.
- Spot-clean using mild soap and lukewarm water, then rinse thoroughly and allow to air-dry.
- Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.
Drying & Protection
- Allow the upholstery and internal padding to dry completely after cleaning or rain.
- Do not store or cover furniture while it is wet.
- Use a breathable outdoor cover when the furniture is not in use.
- Avoid allowing water to collect on the upholstery or around seams.
- During heavy rain, sandstorms, or extended non-use, keep the furniture in a dry, covered, and well-ventilated area.
Sun, Pool & Coastal Care
- Limit prolonged exposure to strong direct sunlight to help reduce fading.
- Clean chlorine, salt water, sunscreen, body oils, and other residues promptly.
- Avoid leaving wet towels or swimwear on upholstered surfaces.
Important Notes
- Outdoor upholstery may be water-resistant but is not necessarily waterproof.
- Do not use bleach, harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, steam cleaners, or pressure washers.
- Avoid unnecessarily saturating the upholstery, particularly on fixed upholstered furniture.
- Professional upholstery cleaning is recommended for persistent stains or mold.
