Fiberglass insulation can accidentally stick to outdoor cushions, causing irritation and discomfort. Removing it requires caution to avoid skin contact or inhalation. Here’s a step-by-step guide to safely clean your cushions:

1. Wear Protective Gear: Put on gloves, long sleeves, goggles, and a mask to prevent fiberglass particles from touching your skin or lungs.

2. Vacuum the Cushions: Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to gently remove loose fiberglass fibers. Avoid pressing too hard to prevent embedding them deeper.

3. Use Tape or a Lint Roller: Press duct tape or a lint roller onto the cushion surface to lift stubborn fibers. Repeat until no more fibers stick.

4. Wipe with a Damp Cloth: Dampen a microfiber cloth with water or rubbing alcohol and wipe the cushions to capture remaining particles.

5. Wash the Cushion Covers (if removable): Machine-wash covers separately in cold water. Avoid mixing with other laundry to prevent contamination.

6. Dispose of Waste Safely: Seal used tape, cloths, or vacuum bags in a plastic bag before discarding to prevent fiberglass spread.

By following these steps, you can effectively remove fiberglass insulation and restore your outdoor cushions safely. Always prioritize protection to avoid health risks!
