How do you clean these items? They're considered "outdoor" fabric, but it says to spot clean (WHAT?) them...

Do you think it would be dumb to put them in my front loader and then dry on extra low with some tennis balls? I would think they're pretty hearty.

I just cleaned my porch today!!!! I sprayed my white swing with clorox two. I put towels underneath,so the drippings would not ruin the porch wood floor. I dust mopped the porch, and the pollen just flew when I beat the mop. I windexed my glass table, and the windows, and the railings. As for the cushion spots - Resolve and a damp cloth. It works great, and better than trying to stuff them into the washer.

Enjoy your porch!

I would NOT put them in the washer. The foam will break apart in the washer. A good scrub with your favorite cleanser and a spray down with a high power hose should take care of it.

Alright, I hosed them down this afternoon and have left them out in the sun to dry. I'm hoping they dry quickly...that swing cushion is tuffted and is quite heavy!
