Professional In-Plant Cleaning, Pickup, Delivery & Optional Winter Storage
Brookline homeowners take great pride in their outdoor living spaces—from backyard patios and garden seating areas to rooftop decks and poolside furniture. Throughout the year, outdoor cushions can collect pollen, dust, tree sap, bird droppings, food spills, sunscreen residue, and other outdoor contaminants.
Over time, these soils can become embedded in the fabric, leaving cushions looking dull, stained, and weathered.
After more than 56 years in the carpet, upholstery, and fabric cleaning business, I understand that different fabrics require different cleaning methods and care.
I began cleaning carpets and upholstery in 1962, and Alec’s Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning has been serving homeowners throughout Greater Boston since 1970.
For Brookline homeowners, I provide professional outdoor cushion cleaning in our Abington plant rather than attempting to clean the cushions outdoors at your home. This allows for a more controlled cleaning process, thorough drying, careful inspection, protective wrapping, and optional winter storage.
Why In-Plant Cleaning Matters for Outdoor Cushions
Cleaning outdoor cushions at a home can be limited by weather, available space, and the difficulty of drying the cushions thoroughly.
By bringing the cushions to our Abington plant, I can better control the entire process from start to finish.
Professional outdoor cushion cleaning can help address:
- Ground-in soil
- Food and beverage spills
- Pollen and outdoor dust
- Tree sap
- Bird droppings
- Body oils and sunscreen residue
- Mildew staining and outdoor organic contamination
- General weathering and discoloration
I clean many types of outdoor fabrics, including Sunbrella, Outdura, Olefin, acrylic fabrics, and other performance textiles commonly used on quality outdoor furniture.
A Complete Seasonal Service for Brookline Homeowners
For many homeowners, one of the biggest advantages is not simply having their outdoor cushions professionally cleaned—it’s not having to deal with them afterward.
My complete service can include:
- Pickup of your outdoor cushions
- Transportation to our Abington cleaning facility
- Professional cleaning
- Thorough controlled drying
- Final inspection
- Protective wrapping
- Optional winter storage
- Delivery when you’re ready for the next outdoor season
This full-service approach is especially convenient for homeowners who don’t want to deal with transporting, storing, or handling a large number of outdoor cushions.
We Clean Most Types of Outdoor Cushions
I professionally clean a wide variety of outdoor cushions, including:
- Patio chair cushions
- Outdoor sofa and sectional cushions
- Dining chair cushions
- Chaise lounge cushions
- Poolside furniture cushions
- Porch furniture cushions
- Bench cushions
- Custom-made outdoor cushions
- Outdoor umbrellas
Before cleaning, I consider the fabric, construction, condition, and type of soiling so I can determine the most appropriate cleaning approach.
Professional Fabric Protection
After cleaning, some homeowners choose to have a professional fabric protector applied.
When appropriate, fabric protection can help outdoor fabrics resist spills and everyday soiling and make future maintenance easier. I only recommend protection when it makes sense for the particular fabric and how the cushions are used.
