Picture watching a sunset with a nice glass of wine or hearing the birds chirping as you enjoy your morning coffee on the patio. Pretty, right? Well, wine spills also happen, and you may find yourself needing to know how to clean coffee stains after accidentally dropping a hot mug! Fortunately for you, OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover Powder and OxiClean™ Odor Blasters Versatile Stain & Odor Remover Powder can help you clean your outdoor cushions to give them new life!

Scrape or brush off any debris, then follow the steps below. We recommend gathering a bucket, a sponge or scrub brush, and maybe the garden hose to rinse!

1. Mix

Fill OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover Powder to line 4 per gallon of warm water. For some surfaces, a more concentrated paste may be used. If using OxiClean™ Odor Blasters Versatile Stain & Odor Remover Powder , fill to line A per 16 ounces of water.

2. Apply

Apply your solution using a cloth, sponge or brush, or by pouring directly onto patio cushions.

3. Wait

Let stand 5 to 30 minutes. For large surfaces, work with small areas so the solution does not dry on the surface.

4. Rinse

Rinse well with cool water.

Always refer to packaging for directions and use only on water washable upholstery. Test powder on an inconspicuous area first. Safe on colorfast fabrics only.

1. Check

Verify your outdoor curtains or removable patio cushion covers are machine washable. Always follow manufacturer’s guidelines for the item being cleaned. Do not use on wool, wool blends, silk, silk blends, leather or on fabrics labeled dry-clean only.

2. Add

Add Oxiclean™ White Revive™ Laundry Whitener + Stain Remover Powder (follow directions on the label for the right amount) and your detergent to the drum BEFORE adding your items.

3. Wash

Wash as normal with your favorite detergent. If using Oxiclean™ White Revive™ Laundry Whitener + Stain Remover Powder, you can add an extra scoop of powder and fill to line 2.

With White Revive™, you can help keep white items white and avoid some of the yellowing that might happen with outdoor curtains and pillow covers.
