Love the remove-and-wash feature of the cushion cover. However, having dealt with cloth cushions over the years, there is no way to keep your cushions from eventually becoming soaked through with water and/or molding. Light colors are particularly difficult to keep clean. I kept my larger cushion in its plastic wrap, sealing the ends with clear shipping tape. I used an additional clear drum liner for the back cushion, sealing up the open end as well. Not only does it make the cushions slide into the cover more easily but it adds an extra water PROOF barrier (much like a slipcover) between your cushion and cover. When youre strapped for cash and cant afford to replace your outdoor cushions every other year, you learn cleaver and frugal ways to protect your investment. And this one works!
