Step-by-step guide to cleaning outdoor cushions
1. Material verification
- Please note the hum care label or check our humstore online shop, where you will find the exact care instructions for the cushions. Most outdoor cushions are made of water-repellent and durable materials such as polyester or acrylic. hum outdoor cushions are made of high-quality Trevira CS polyester.
2. Preparation
- Gently vacuum the cushions to remove loose dust and dirt.
- For a fresh stain, try to absorb the liquid with a clean cotton or paper towel.
- You can treat all other stains with bile soap and rinse the stain with clean water. See also our Reel on Instagram: humstore.de
- For very stubborn stains, remove the pillow cover to make it easier to wash the pillow.
3. Cleaning the pillowcases in the washing machine
- The hum pillow covers have a zipper and can be washed in the washing machine. We recommend washing the cover and the inner pillow separately. Choose the delicate or wool cycle without adding any detergent.
- For stubborn stains, pre-treat them with gall soap. For certain stains, such as oil, a special stain remover can be used. Be sure to test it on an inconspicuous area first.
4. Cleaning the pillows by hand washing
- Light stains can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Use lukewarm water. Move in circular motions towards the center of the stain to avoid unsightly edges.
- We recommend washing the outdoor cushions by hand. This is environmentally friendly and perfectly sufficient to clean the cushions. Finally, rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of the gall soap.
- For heavier soiling, you can use a soft brush to gently rub out the dirt. Be careful not to press too hard to avoid damaging the material. Carefully rub dried red wine stains with gall soap and clean with plenty of water until the wine and soap are completely removed.
5. Drying
- Let the pillows or pillowcases dry in the fresh air. Do not put the pillowcases in the dryer.
- You don't need to treat the outdoor cushions with a special textile protection spray; it's already there and shouldn't be altered.
Additional tips
