Venetian plaster can accidentally transfer onto outdoor cushions, leaving a stubborn residue. Here’s a step-by-step guide to safely remove it without damaging the fabric:

1. Scrape Off Excess: Use a plastic scraper or dull knife to gently remove dried plaster. Avoid sharp tools to prevent fabric tears.

2. Vacuum Loose Particles: A handheld vacuum can help lift loose plaster bits before wet cleaning.

3. Damp Cloth Wipe: Dampen a microfiber cloth with warm water and lightly dab the stained area. Avoid rubbing, as it may spread the plaster.

4. Mild Soap Solution: Mix a few drops of dish soap with warm water. Gently blot the stain, then rinse with a clean, damp cloth.

5. Baking Soda Paste (For Tough Stains): Create a paste with baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, let it sit for 10 minutes, then wipe clean.

6. Air Dry: Let the cushion dry completely in sunlight to prevent mold.

For persistent stains, consider a fabric-safe cleaner or consult a professional. Regular cushion covers can also prevent future mishaps!
