Quilted Outdoor Cushion Care Guide

Our quilted outdoor cushions are designed for outdoor use and are manufactured to a particularly high standard. To ensure you can enjoy them for a long time, we recommend the following care instructions:

Regular care

  • Light soiling can be easily removed with a soft brush or damp cloth. If necessary, clear water or mild soapy water can be used – then wipe with clear water.
  • If necessary, use a suitable protective cover to protect your upholstery from dust, moisture, and UV radiation, especially in unstable weather conditions or if the upholstery is not used for a long period of time.
  • Dab, don't rub – otherwise pigments may come off or the fabric may become rough.

Additional tips for non-removable covers

  1. Treat stains immediately
    The fresher a stain is, the easier it is to remove. Always absorb liquids immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth (do not rub, just dab).
  2. Gentle cleaning with a spray bottle
    For stubborn stains, pour a mild soap solution into a spray bottle, spray it onto the stained area, and dab it gently with a microfiber cloth. Then wipe with a little clear water and allow to air dry.
  3. Brushing instead of rubbing
    A soft upholstery brush helps to remove loose dirt (e.g., dust, pollen, animal hair) regularly without damaging the fabric.
  4. Drying after rain or moisture
    Even if the cover cannot be opened, the cushion should be placed upright or at a slight angle after heavy rain so that any residual moisture can drain off more easily. It will dry faster in the sun or wind.
  5. Use a protective cover
    Breathable protective covers are recommended in case of continuous rain, prolonged non-use, or winter storage. This will keep the cushion clean for longer and allow it to dry faster.
  6. No steam or wet cleaners
    Steam, pressure cleaners, or wet vacuum cleaners can soak the filling or damage the quilting seams – only clean selectively and superficially.
  7. Optional: Odor neutralization
    If the upholstery has absorbed odors after prolonged use, sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda over it and vacuum it off after a few hours.

Protection & storage

  • Avoid direct prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent color changes.
  • During prolonged periods of bad weather or in winter, store in a dry and well-ventilated place – ideally in a storage box or a breathable cover.
  • Be careful with open flames and heat sources.
  • Do not use cushions in the immediate vicinity of barbecues, fire pits, or radiant heaters.
  • Cigarette embers, flying sparks, or hot ashes can also cause burn marks or holes – please keep a safe distance.

Use by children and pets

  • Vacuum animal hair regularly or remove it with a lint roller – this prevents it from becoming embedded in the fabric.
  • Make sure your pets' claws are trimmed short to prevent scratches in the fabric or pulled threads.

End of season – storing correctly for winter

  • Only store completely dry cushions – residual moisture can lead to mildew stains or odors.
  • The storage location should be dry, well-ventilated, and frost-free – e.g., on a shelf or in a storage box with ventilation.
  • Do not vacuum pack or press too hard – otherwise the foam may lose its shape.
