Accidentally getting driveway sealer on your outdoor cushions can be frustrating, but don’t worry—it’s fixable! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you restore your cushions:
1. Scrape Off Excess Sealer: Use a plastic scraper or dull knife to gently remove any dried sealer. Avoid pressing too hard to prevent fabric damage.
2. Apply a Cleaning Solution: Mix warm water with mild dish soap or a specialized cleaner like Goo Gone. Test on a small area first to ensure colorfastness.
3. Scrub Gently: Use a soft-bristle brush or sponge to work the solution into the stain. Circular motions help lift the sealer without spreading it.
4. Rinse Thoroughly: Hose down the cushion or wipe it with a damp cloth to remove residue. Repeat if necessary.
5. Dry Completely: Let the cushion air-dry in the sun to prevent mold.
For stubborn stains, rubbing alcohol or vinegar can break down the sealer further. Always check manufacturer guidelines before using harsh chemicals. With patience, your cushions will look good as new!
