The vinyl material and superior fi nish has been
tested to resist heavy abrasion. Complete cleaning
instructions are included in the owner’s packet. Read
all information provided by the cushion manufacturer
regarding the proper cleaning and maintenance.
Your cushions are not waterproof. They are
constructed of open-cell foam and will absorb and
hold water. The foam is wrapped with a plastic barrier
which helps to keep water from being absorbed into
the foam but also will not allow water to dissipate
once the foam is soaked.
Do not leave the cushions
in standing water or exposed to heavy, prolonged
rain
.
If, in the event your cushions become waterlogged,
remove the foam from the cushion, press as much
water as you can from the foam and allow to air dry.
Make sure the plastic wrap is dry before wrapping
the foam and inserting it back into the cushion.
To prevent mildew, keep the vinyl dry and make
sure that moisture does not accumulate between the
cushions.
Cushions
Saltwater, salt residue, dirt, ultra-violet rays etc. will
take their toll on vinyl products causing them to lose
their luster and texture.
Solvents are flammable. Exercise proper
care. Wear rubber gloves during all cleaning
activity.
Use caution when cleaning around buttons,
stitching and wooden or decorative trim as
these solvents could seriously damage such
areas.
