How Do You Clean Dirty Outdoor Furniture Covers?

Outdoor furniture covers can become quite dirty over time, and it’s important to clean them on a regular basis to keep them looking their best. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to make sure your furniture covers are clean and looking good.

1. Vacuum the furniture cover with an upholstery attachment to remove any loose dirt and debris. Make sure you’re thorough and get into all the nooks and crannies, as this will help ensure that your furniture cover is as clean as possible.

2. Pre-treat any stubborn stains. Use a pre-treatment solution specifically designed for outdoor fabric covers, such as a detergent or cleaner specifically designed for outdoor use.

Apply the solution directly to the stain and scrub gently with a soft brush or cloth. Allow the pre-treatment solution to sit for several minutes before proceeding.

3. Wash the cover. Fill a large bucket or basin with warm water and add a mild liquid detergent or cleaner designed for outdoor fabrics.

Immerse the cover in the soapy water and scrub gently with a soft brush or cloth until all stains have been removed. Rinse thoroughly in cool, clear water to remove any excess suds or residue from the fabric.

4. Dry. Once you’ve washed and rinsed your furniture cover, it’s important to dry it thoroughly before replacing it on your furniture. Hang outside in direct sunlight if possible, or use an indoor drying rack if needed; do not put in the dryer!

Conclusion: Cleaning dirty outdoor furniture covers doesn’t have to be difficult – just follow these simple steps to keep your furniture looking fresh and new! Vacuum, pre-treat stains, wash with mild detergent or cleaner, rinse thoroughly, and then hang outside in direct sunlight (or use an indoor drying rack) until completely dry before replacing on your furniture – easy!
