Removing construction adhesive from outdoor cushions can be tricky, but with the right techniques, you can restore them to their original condition. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you tackle this stubborn residue:

1. Scrape Off Excess Adhesive: Use a plastic scraper or old credit card to gently remove as much dried adhesive as possible without damaging the fabric.

2. Apply a Solvent: For water-based adhesives, warm soapy water may suffice. For stronger adhesives like polyurethane-based glue, try rubbing alcohol, acetone (test on a small area first), or a commercial adhesive remover.

3. Let It Sit: Allow the solvent to penetrate the adhesive for 5–10 minutes to soften it.

4. Scrub Gently: Use a soft-bristle brush or cloth to scrub the area in circular motions. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent fabric damage.

5. Rinse and Dry: Rinse the cushion with clean water and let it air dry completely before use.

For stubborn spots, repeat the process or consider using a steam cleaner for deeper cleaning. Always check the cushion’s care label before applying chemicals. With patience, your outdoor cushions will look as good as new!
