🪑 Steps to clean your parasol and outdoor cushions

1. Dust off

Shake the cushions and open the parasol to remove dust and leaves. A quick vacuum or dry brush is also helpful.

2. Prepare your solution

In a bucket, mix 3 tablespoons of black soap in 1 liter of warm water.

3. Clean gently

Using a sponge or soft brush, scrub the surfaces, paying attention to stains. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes if needed.

4. Rinse thoroughly

Use a hose or a bucket of clear water to thoroughly remove any soap residue. This prevents streaks when drying.

5. Air dry

Let the fabrics dry completely in the sun, or in the shade if the colors are delicate.
