They will have problems landing-walking-taking off now and won´t want to come back. Renew regularly till they learn the lesson.

When buying my set, I chose the fabric that I could use bleach on. (CHECK with your manufacturer) I simply used some laundry detergent and bleach in my bath tub. It took some work but I was able to completely submerge the cushions, let them soak and drain. One rinse and they came out beautifully. There was NO lifting a cushion in between draining and rinsing so it was a timely process but I did it for the 1st time after 3 years. Seems like a good time table.
