Accidentally getting expanding foam on your outdoor cushions can be frustrating, but don’t worry—it’s removable with the right approach. Here’s how to tackle the mess effectively:

1. Act Quickly: Fresh foam is easier to remove. If the foam is still wet, use a plastic scraper or old credit card to gently lift it off the cushion surface. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the foam.

2. Use Acetone or Nail Polish Remover: For cured foam, apply a small amount of acetone (or nail polish remover with acetone) to a cloth and dab the stained area. Test on an inconspicuous spot first to ensure it doesn’t damage the fabric.

3. Scrub with a Brush: For stubborn residue, use a soft-bristle brush dipped in soapy water or a specialized foam cleaner. Gently scrub in circular motions to loosen the foam without damaging the cushion.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: After cleaning, rinse the cushion with clean water and let it air dry completely before using it again.

5. Prevent Future Spills: When working with expanding foam near cushions, cover them with a drop cloth or plastic sheet.

By following these steps, you can restore your outdoor cushions to their original condition. Patience and gentle handling are key to avoiding fabric damage!
