Caring for Teak Deep Seating Cushions

In my experiences with outdoor furniture, I have found that caring for the cushions is an integral part of caring for the furniture; this principle applies to teak deep seating, as well. Many of the teak deep seating pieces I’ve seen come with cushions that raise the standards for outdoor furniture. These cushions are thick and luxurious, more reminiscent of living room furniture than typical outdoor seating.

As a result, you’ll want to keep your cushions in good shape with some simple techniques. Teak deep seating cushions, like most other outdoor cushions, are made from materials that dry quickly and resist stains and fading.

The two best things you can do for teak deep seating cushions are to bring them inside and clean up spills immediately. Certainly, whenever you don’t expect to use your teak deep seating for an extended period of time, you should store the cushions indoors. This period could fall in the winter or during a long vacation. However, it’s also a wise idea to bring the cushions inside during heavy rains, high winds, or storms. Allow the cushions to dry thoroughly before storage.

Aim to wipe up spills immediately. The durable material that covers teak deep seating cushions should resist stains, but cleaning spills immediately should prevent most stains from forming. For tougher dirt and stains, you can try a mild soap and warm water. Hose the cushions thoroughly when you finish scrubbing. Bleach is not advisable; however, if your other efforts don’t work, you can try bleach. Spot test in an inconspicuous place before proceeding.

In my opinion, it’s worth your attention to keep the cushions spotless. Nice cushions do more than any other factor to keep teak deep seating looking attractive.
