Cleaning/Washing Cushion Fabric

[Tony and Rhonda]

I've searched the forums with @Wayfinder's great search tool/page and only found one hit on cleaning the fabric/upholstery in the Oliver (from John Davies). He machine washed his fabric.

We have the brown woven fabric in our 2017.

Does anyone have any advice for cleaning the fabric?

Thanks in advance.

We had the same fabric in our 2016. Thought to replace rather than clean. The fabric was worn fuzzy too, not just dirty.

They unzip so could be put in the washing machine. They could get more fuzzy and the stains may not come out. Air dry so not to shrink.

For $500 we have not only new Sunbrella fabric, but new 5" dense foam (was 4") and a nice new RED color (fabric comes in many colors). And they are much more comfortable! 🤣

Hi @jd1923, Our fabric is in generally good shape, no stains and not fuzzy (on the outside at least) but as far as we know they've never been cleaned. They also have an odd feel to the fabric so we'd like to clean them.

@Tony and Rhonda yours do look to be in better shape than ours were. The original fabric seemed good quality.

You could try the machine wash. Use a long pre-soak, then the gentle cycle.

Another thought would be professional dry cleaning. If you have a good local cleaners, take a seat back cushion there and ask their opinion. And maybe they can be dry-cleaned without removing the covers.

Let us know how it turns out!
