Anyone have an idea of how to freshen up kitchen chair cushions? I have tried spraying them with Fabreeze & other fresheners but the scent doesn't last very long. I looked on the cushion tag, thinking maybe I could put it in the washer but it says to just spot clean them. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks everyone......Madeline

Are these removeable chair cushions Madeline? If so I would wash them in the wash machine on the gentle/delicate cycle and then dry them. So many times it does say to just spot clean but I have successfully washed those items on the delicate cycle. Of course it would depend on the material and what risk you are willing to take! If they are not removeable and you own a carpet cleaner with an upholstery attachment I would try that next. You would have to be very careful as to not get them too wet so that you didn't ruin the chair especially if it is wood.
Try OdoBan. It's a disinfectant and odor eliminator with a fairly good eucalyptus scent.
Hi Madeline, we washed my moms chair cushions in the washer on cool and gentle, we set them out to dry and they came out great. Hope this helps you.
I agree with Peggy. If you wash them on gentle, they should be fine.
Consider soaking them in tub or laundry sink to avoid damage to the fabric or causing them to become misshaped from the machine agitation.
Try using your iron on the steam setting, and let the steam really go through them. This should steam clean your cushions, and should help with smells. You can use this method on mattresses and other furniture as well.
