Outdoor cushions add comfort and style to any patio, deck, or garden space. However, exposure to the elements means these cushions can quickly accumulate dirt, stains, and mildew. Regular cleaning not only enhances their appearance but also extends their lifespan. At Oaks Fine Cleaners, we’ll walk you through the process we use for dry cleaning outdoor cushions, ensuring they look their best all season long.

Step 2: Pre-Treatment of Stains
Outdoor cushions often suffer from various stains, including food spills, bird droppings, and mildew. We pre-treat these areas with specialized stain removers tailored to the type of stain and fabric. This step is crucial for loosening dirt and ensuring a more effective overall clean. Our pre-treatment solutions are eco-friendly, non-toxic, and safe for most fabric types, including acrylic, polyester, and olefin. These pre-treatment solutions are created without the use of perc and other chemicals harmful to humans and pets.
Step 3: Deep Cleaning
We use a combination of steam cleaning and eco-friendly detergents for the deep cleaning phase. Steam cleaning is highly effective for penetrating deep into the fabric, removing embedded dirt, and killing bacteria and mold spores without damaging the material. Oaks Fine Cleaners uses carefully measured detergents designed to be tough on dirt but gentle on fabrics, ensuring that your cushions are clean and preserved.
Step 4: Rinsing and Extraction
After the deep cleaning process, we thoroughly rinse the cushions to remove all detergent residues. This is done using high-pressure water extraction, which not only ensures that all cleaning agents are removed but also helps to extract excess water from the cushions. This step is vital to prevent any potential mold growth and to speed up the drying process.
Step 5: Drying
Proper drying is essential for preventing mold and mildew. As an outdoor cushions dry cleaner, we use industrial-grade drying equipment to ensure that the cushions dry quickly and evenly. For cushions with removable covers, we dry the covers and the cushion inserts separately to ensure thorough drying. This step typically takes a few hours, depending on the thickness and material of the cushions.
Step 6: Final Inspection and Fabric Protection
Once the cushions are dry, we perform a final inspection to ensure all stains have been removed and the cushions look as good as new. We also apply a fabric protector to help repel future stains and make the cushions easier to clean. This protective coating is particularly useful for outdoor cushions, which are continually exposed to dirt and moisture.
Keeping your outdoor cushions clean and fresh doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By entrusting them to our outdoor cushions dry cleaning service, you can enjoy spotless, hygienic cushions that enhance your outdoor living space.
