Accidentally getting plaster splatter on your outdoor cushions can be frustrating, but don’t worry—there are easy ways to clean them without damaging the fabric. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you restore your cushions to their original condition.
1. Let the Plaster Dry Completely
Avoid smearing wet plaster by letting it dry first. Once hardened, gently scrape off excess plaster with a plastic spatula or a dull knife.
2. Vacuum Loose Debris
Use a handheld vacuum or a brush to remove any loose plaster particles from the cushion surface.
3. Apply a Mild Cleaning Solution
Mix warm water with a few drops of dish soap or a gentle upholstery cleaner. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution and dab (don’t rub) the stained area.
4. Rinse and Air Dry
Wipe the area with a damp cloth to remove soap residue, then let the cushion air dry completely in the sun.
For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can help lift the plaster. Always test any cleaner on a small, hidden area first. With these tips, your outdoor cushions will look fresh and clean again!
