Tips & Warnings
Regularly vacuuming your chaise lounge will prevent pet hair or dust accumulation.
You increase your chance of stain removal when you clean up spills immediately after they happen.
Don't be tempted to use bleach on your white chaise lounge. Something that appears white to the naked eye may still have pigment that can be pulled out by bleach, leaving a white spot on your white chaise.
Steam cleaning may cause the fabric to shrink on the chaise, deforming the cushions. Unless the label indicates that it is okay, refrain from using home or professional steam cleaning units on your chaise lounge.
