Removable Covers

• 1). Remove foam or stuffing from cushions if they have a zipper. If they do not have a zipper, wash small cushions two at a time in the washer.
  
  
• 2). Place cushions or cushion covers into the washer. Set the washer on the gentle cycle, and pour in 2 tbsp. of liquid detergent.
  
  
• 3). When washing is complete, remove the cushions or cushion covers from the washer, and place in the dryer. Dry them on the gentle cycle.
  
  
• 4). Air out the foam or stuffing by setting it outside on a patio table. Place the foam or stuffing back into the cushion cover when it has finished drying.
  
  

Nonremovable Covers

• 1). Attach the wand attachment to the sweeper hose. Run the wand slowly over the nonremovable cushion covers to remove dust and dirt.
  
  
• 2). Apply 1 tbsp. of dry-cleaning solvent to a damp cloth. Dab stains on the cushions with the solvent.
  
  
• 3). Blot the stains and the solvent from the cushions with a clean cloth. Apply additional dry-cleaning solvent if necessary to remove the stains entirely.
