Tips for Cleaning Boat Cushions

A lot of things like boat cushions and other cushions can become dirty or smelly when they are used a lot.  But that doesn’t mean you have to stop using them.  Below you are going to find some tips that you can use for cleaning your foam futon cushions and making them smell nice again.

• Remove the covers
• If the cover is cloth, wash them according to the directions. You can also use Woolite if there are not directions.
• Since this is heavy material, it should be dry without 12 hours. Otherwise they could start smelling.
• Take your cushions outside and then lay the cushions out.
• Spray them individually using ammonia which smells good, then sprinkle them quickly using a carpet product.  Then you want to spray the cushions again using ammonia.  Allow them to dry in the sun.
• Flip the cushions over once the first side’s dry.  Don’t bypass the edges – do them too. Allow the second side to completely dry.
• Continue doing this until your cushions smell good again.
• Bring the cushions into your storage room, your boat, or your house.
• Put the covers back onto the cushions when you know that they are dry.
