3. Rinse clean.

Instructions

1. Fill a bucket or spray bottle with 1 part water and 2 parts bleach.*
2. Apply the solution onto the lumber and let it sit for a few minutes.
3. Scrub away any debris with a soft-bristle brush.
4. Wipe off the solution with a damp cloth and let your furniture air-dry.

*PRO TIP: For a natural alternative to bleach, use white vinegar at a 1:1 ratio with water.

Instructions

1. Spray your furniture with slow, even sweeps, holding the nozzle about eight inches away from the surface.
2. If stubborn spots remain, remove them with the Sanitizing method listed above.

Follow our instructions to keep your cushions and pillows in great shape.
