How to Wash a Papasan Cushion
Papasans are large, round chairs that provide excellent support and comfortable sitting. If you are not using cushion covers, papasan cushion covers can be a little tricky to clean because they are too large to wash in a washing machine. Most owners claim you must take them to a dry cleaner. There is another way to clean your papasan cushion, however, without spending a lot of money. All you need is some time and a few supplies.

How to Wash a Papasan Cushion
-
1
Fill a bucket halfway with warm water and a capful or two of upholstery shampoo. The mixture should have bubbles in it but not gratuitous foam.
-
2
Drop a large sponge into the mixture, saturate it and wring it out so it's not dripping.

3
Blot at the papasan cushion with the wet sponge, using small circular scrubbing motions near any stains or spots. Every few blots, return the sponge to the bucket, clean it off and add more shampoo mixture to it. The sponge should be wet but not sopping. Repeat until you have washed the entire cushion.

4
Empty the bucket, rinse all shampoo residue, and fill the bucket once again with warm water only. Wash the sponge of any shampoo, and use it to blot over the wet and soapy cushion to remove all excess shampoo.

5
Use a towel to soak up as much of the moisture in the cushion as possible. Let the cushion air dry on the papasan frame, turning it over every hour until the cushion is completely dry.
