J&O Fabrics Celebrates National Caribbean American Heritage Month.

The month of June has over thirty different nationally recognized holidays and presidential proclaimed ‘special days’ in it. When broken down, that equates to a holiday each day. There’s Fathers Day, Juneteenth, National Gay & Lesbian Pride Month, and National Childs Day just to name a few. But today, we at J&O Fabrics take personal pride in celebrating Caribbean-American Heritage Month.

During the month of June, we pay tribute to the Caribbean Americans at home and abroad who have helped weave the fabric of our Nation into the bountiful country it is today, and to celebrate the great contributions of a diversity of people from various islands in the Atlantic and Pacific who continue to enhance the culture and bonds of friendship that unite the United States and Caribbean countries.

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?
