Furniture Care & Maintenance
Outdoor Cushions
All of Williams patio cushions are designed for outdoor use. Most are solution dyed acrylics like Sunbrella® or Outdura® that resist fading and can withstand summer rains. We recommend turning them on their side when they get wet to allow for drainage and faster dry time. We also recommend covering them if you know it will rain and want to be using dry cushions right after the rain. All solution dyed acrylics like Sunbrella® or Outdura® fabrics can be cleaned with mild detergent and water. For stain specific cleaning you can consult www.Sunbrella.com or try using some 1 Cup bleach in a gallon water.
How do I clean my new furniture?
We recommend just spraying the furniture with a garden hose from time to time to help clean the dirt off.
How do I maintain my new furniture?
We recommend simply spraying the furniture with a garden hose from time to time. You can also cover the furniture if you leave town for an extended period of time. We encourage covering the furniture during the winter and storing cushions indoors.
Do I need covers?
Yes and No. All furniture is susceptible to natural wear and tear over time from Mother Nature. If you want to prolong the life of your furniture, covering it will certainly help the cause. If you own teak and are letting go to the silvery gray color, covering isn’t necessary. But even then covers do keep it cleaner over the winter months.
What should I store?
Storing your cushions in a dry place for the winter is highly recommended. Never store cushions in a plastic garbage bag. All furniture can be stored if you have the space and do not have covers. Ultimately this will just prolong the life of your furniture.

Why does Williams not show products and pricing online?
Certain manufacturers have requested that retailers do not display their selling price. Williams is committed to offering the best value to our customers, our prices are competitive and the manufacturer has requested that we not advertise the price on particular items.
