How do you clean mold off the inside of the covers? It is unbelievable that I have to CLEAN these covers now. We bought 4 chair covers (for expensive Allibert chairs) and one larger cover to fit over a Tangor Allibert chair (to test size before buying...

You have a real issue and I would suggest contacting the manufacturer for an answer while lodging a complaint. My cover does sit on the ground and we noticed mold on the chair but did not check the cover. We will now. Sorry for us both.

Hi Lucy! They have a glossy topcoat on them which could likely easily be sanded off so you could restain the chairs. Good luck!

There was a red tag inclosed with mine. However, it appears to give just general "care tips". Says to dust regularly with a lightly moistened cloth sprayed with a fine furniture polish. I just set mine up last week and just have wiped with a damp cloth for now. I would say to be on the safe side go to their website www.coasterfurniture.com and possibly contact them.

Well I have been able to surface clean them with no problem. I have two cats. The problem I have is that the cushion cover rolls and does not stay in place so every two or three months I unzip it and reposition it. I would use Dawn and warm water to spot clean them. I bought two. I think they are a good choice if you have kids....low cost, light weight and can take a little abuse.

I used oil they recommended for teak wood furniture- actually bought it from amazon at the same time I ordered the chairs- did it exactly as they directed- and the chairs look awful after only 2 months! So you'd be better off asking someone at Home Depot or Lowes- or returning the chairs- that's a better idea!

I originally used clorox wipes and it worked fairly well. after a while, you can still see dingy spots so I started using Mr Clean Magic Erasers. You can't use it regularly because it would be too harsh but once in awhile works and the chair looks as good as new.

We replaced all the castors with some really nice nylon ones that don't scratch our wood floor. They are also have a lot smoother operation. We purchased them from Rockler Woodworking (Rockler.com). You just have to make sure of the size and type of the posts that go into the chair. Don't remember how much they were, but not much.

Hi Vickie, we'd recommend cleaning just because there may be dirt and grime on the chair you can't see. However, if you truly don't think it is dirty, we would at least recommend dusting and/or vacuuming to remove all of that dirt. You may find that if it's years of dust, a wet cleaning product like Leather Honey Leather Cleaner will help get it out of the crevices and pores of the leather.

We clean our bamboo utensils by hand-washing only along with other delicate dishes. We did use sandpaper to smooth out a small splinter on one of the handles without issue. I'm not sure about the mold but if it were me, I'd go ahead and try the sandpaper before throwing them away or maybe soaking them in some mold remover (or both); you've got nothing to lose, right?

Tell me about it!!, I took off the covers to wash and they shredded so much on the inside it was hard to get them zipped up. I would be curious how much it would cost to have new covers made in a different material. I hate the fabrics! I know that doesn't help. I have to agree with you.Good luck. Jody

Hello, same thing happened to me. But I think it's becaues the bean bags were decompressed and possibly put in a storage facility for quite a while. Anyway, the only option is to just air it out outside (with a cardboard underneath the chair to keep it from getting dirty) or open up all the windows in a room where the Fuf chair will be. It said on the website that you should only spot clean your Fuf chair, so taking out the foam and trying to wash the fabric would not be recommended unless you ordered the liner with it. https://www.beanbaguniverse.com/FAQ.aspx (that site answers a lot of questions)

You are better off getting a dust mop type product. We got rid of our carpet and replaced it with laminate. We ended up buying a Bruce brand. http://www.amazon.com/Bruce-4x15-Luster-Cleaner-Covers/dp/B003383EK4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid;=1371618936&sr;=8-5&keywords;=bruce+mop

Thank you for your question. We called ADCO at 1-800-541-ADCO to get the answer to your question. The manufacturer recommends cleaning the cover with a solution of one gallon water and 1/4 cup bleach. Use a spray bottle to apply, and allow it to sit for a few minutes, then immediately rinse. This should kill the mold. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to help you! Thank you Jessica with Covers Direct

This is exactly my question too! I had an indoor sofa covered in Sunbrella fabric and put outside - the rain puddles in the seat and seeps through the seams so I have some mold underneath. I don't know if its dangerous but would like to use this ... did you try it and did it work? Thanks in advance

hi, I like your post. I just want to know more about "vinyl". We just got our huge sectional recovered with "faux leather".. aka vinyl. since the denim slipcover was old and the couch was still great! Also, my husband has allergies... and leather or vinyl is easier to keep clean. but the smell is terrible!! I had done a lot of research on the feel and look.. but never heard a thing about the health concerns or SMELL!!! I am encouraged by your post.. but still nervous it may not be safe.. and also. wondering if this smell will EVER go away?!!
