Types of Fabric
Hint: To prolong the life of your cushions, spread a towel over the cushion when using baby oil, suntan lotions or oils. These products tend to breakdown the U.V. factor in the fabric and can cause premature fading.
Hint: Spilling food or drink onto your cushion can cause bacteria to be trapped between fibers and th reads, causing mold to grow. Periodically clean your cushions with mild soap and water to safeguard against this. Fabric itself does not support mold, but the bacteria can become trapped between weaves.
