Remember, the material is almost always unremovable. Making stubborn oddly placed stains or mildew even harder to remove once they set.

Its cleaning instructions are just as awesome. No one likes to have to clean let alone clean something that is typically outdoors 24/7. Mildew, mold, water stains all become even more stubborn when developed outside and allowed to sit to some time.

Just thinking of the muscle work needed to have to scrub out a stain that has dug into fabric that lives outside can be tiring. With zero gravity chairs this will never be an issue of yours. The polyester material is easy to clean. Simply use mild dish soap and warm water to lightly spot clean.

Once you finish with the scrubbing rinse the chair with cold water. A hose works best when it’s a tougher stain or mildew. For the little nooks and crannies that are hard to reach you can use a toothbrush. Keeping the same concept of hard and soft bristles in mind when it comes to the stubbornness of the stain.

Cleaning the Cushions

Mix borax, dish soap, and warm water in a bucket after separating the cushion from the chair. Now take a hard bristled brush and scrub the cushion in its entirety. You want to see the solution lather up on the whole cushion.

More stubborn stains may require for you to repeat the process more then once. After you have scrubbed away the stains to your satisfaction allow the solution to sit for a few minutes. Now you can utilize a hose, preferably with a setting for high pressure to rinse out all the solution from the cushion.

Finally, press the water out of your cushions with your hands until its as dry as possible. Your cushions will then need to be placed against something vertically to air dry. If you can place them somewhere sunny.
