Dear Netfah: Cleaning & Care of Outdoor Upholstery Fabric

Dear Netfah,

Every Memorial Day, my family has a big BBQ at our house. And every year, more and more friends and family attend. This year, my husband and I are celebrating our 10th Anniversary run for this event, and we want to do it in style. With food and entertainment a high priority on our list, the last thing I need to worry about is the condition of my outdoor patio cushions. They’re a 100% Acrylic Penny Stripe and I got them several years ago. I usually keep the cushions in a cool shed during the winter, and they’ve kept well. But when I pulled them out they had some remains of the days if you will, that showed their age and usage. They just need a little ‘pick-me-up’ without me having to launder the shells. So my question to you today is, how do I clean my darling but dusty lounge chairs in time for the big BBQ?
