How do I DIY clean these cushions?
I have three pieces of furniture that contain these cushions. Are there any simple DIY solutions I can spray on to help keep them clean and fresh? It would be a hassle to try to take the covers off and put them in wash. It would be much more simpler to just spray and vacuum or something. Any ideas? Thanks!

While it is a bit of a procedure to take the covers off and wash, doing it a couple times a year is not a big deal, just do it on a day where you are doing your spring and fall cleaning. I block out a weekend in the spring and fall to get it all done so I can spend more time on fun activities.
Lsa...We like a fabric spray called "Blue Magic" that we purchased at Auto Zone and we really like it.
We use Blue Coral Upholstery Cleaner available at Walmart (usually) , auto parts stores, and online. It does a great job and leaves a fresh scent that doesn't make me sneeze.

If the cushions do not already have zippers, I would not suggest to try to take them off for washing. Besides as you say, it being a hassle, this fabric does not seem to me to be sturdy enough to survive an automatic washer cycle without shrinking and disintegrating.
Lisa, you already know the strategy... vacuum first, every wrinkle, curve and crevice. Then use Spray and Wash or my favorite, Scrubbing Bubbles, until the cushons are wet. Use a clean cloth or sponge to scrub the spray into the cushions, and let all the bubbles evaporate. Then set a box fan or strong ceiling fan to blow the cushions dry overnight, all sides. Then vacuum thoroughly again. The cushions and other fabric should be soft, clean, and smell good. Best wishes!
Folex is a great product. Test first on a discreet area.
Any type of shaving cream just rub in good with a rag or brush then you cans vacumn and let dry. It works great !!!
