Eos Communal Bench Cushion

The cushions for the Eos Communal Bench Cushion use a Sunbrella Fabric on the outer cover – Sunbrella® PVC/Textile fabrics are similar to a traditional PVC sling, but with the addition of textile yarns within the weave to offer increased comfort and the addition of a lamination layer on the reverse of the fabric to aid water resistance.

We advise that the cushions are stored in a dry location whilst not in use to prolong the life of this product.

It is not advised to machine wash the cushions.

Cleaning (Light Soiling)

As with any item left permanently outside and exposed to the elements (not recommended), regular cleaning is recommended – at least once a year. Cleaning every month when in use will ensure that the furniture remains looking at its best. If the fabric is stained with oil, butter orany other oil-based product, we strongly advise that this is removed IMMEDIATELY using a solution of warm water and mild detergent as detailed below. We also advise furniture is covered in the winter months if possible. For regular, general cleaning and light soiling use a solution of warm water and mild detergent.

1. Gently brush the fabric clean with a sponge, soft scrubbing pad or a soft bristle scrubbing brush.
2. Rinse well with clean water to remove all traces of the detergent solution.

DO NOT use a power washer to clean/rinse the cushions as this will cause de-lamination of the membrane on the inside of the cushion cover.

Watermarks

Due to the large surface area of base cushions in particular, it is possible, under certain conditions, for watermarks to appear on the fabric. Watermarks are not ‘stains’ as such and can occur on almost any fabric under certain conditions – i.e. uneven wetting and/or uneven drying. To avoid water marking it is important to dry cushions evenly, preferably in sunny, breezy conditions. If a watermark appears, use a mild detergent and warm water to remove the mark, then rinse the cushion thoroughly all over, using clean water, and then allow to dry as evenly and quickly as practicable. Ideally, this should be in the open air and in direct sunlight if possible, which will assist more rapid and even drying.

Cleaning (Heavy Soiling)

For more ingrained dirt and/or to remove specific stains we recommend buying a specific outdoor fabric spot cleaner or cleaning solution.

Mildew

All the fabrics used on Outdoor Lounge furniture are generally resistant to mildew, however in extremely humid and moist environments, it is possible that some level of mildew may develop on the surface of the fabric. To prevent and remove mildew, we recommend that items are cleaned at least once a year using a mild detergent and warm water.
