Cleaning  101
 JSI > Cushions > Cleaning 101
 
 Depending on the type of material, here are basic cleaning instructions:

For most materials, you can call Stanley Steemer, Chem Dri or Service Master and have the material cleaned the same way as they clean carpet (steam cleaned with the covers on)

The materials may also be cleaned the following way. Please note the associated possible results.

Cotton Print    Hand or machine wash, cold water and Woolite, gentle cycle or hand wash, cold water rinse, line dry. Putting the covers in a dryer will shrink the covers. 

Olefin (Herculon)  Hand or machine wash, gentle cycle with warm water and Woolite, cold water rinse, line dry. Some Olefin materials get sun damaged and may deteriorate with any attempt to clean. This condition would typically be evident prior to cleaning.

Velvet or velour   Hand or machine wash, gentle cycle with warm water and Woolite, cold water rinse, line dry. Do not wring out excess water. It will bruise the pile. Some bruising may occur during washing. Bruising is when the nap of the material gets pushed in the opposite direction and creates a light or dark spot.  Bruising can be corrected by placing a damp towel on the face of the material and ironing with a warm iron, only in the direction of  the nap (smooth).

The foam will absorb a boats interior odors, The foam can be cleaned and deodorized by cleaning it in a pool or jacuzzi. Just chlorinate the pool or jacuzzi and place each piece of foam in the pool for 10 to 20 minutes. Remove the foam and place vertically over a drain. Do not lay the foam flat, it will take longer to evacuate the water

Please undesratnd that these are very general instructions and may not be appropriate for your Cushions.
