Using these pillows is a breeze. You can place them on your outdoor patio chairs, benches, or inside your living room sofa. They'll instantly spruce up the area. When it comes to cleaning, for light dirt, you can spot - clean with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. If it's really dirty, you can gently hand - wash the pillow cover in cool water. Just make sure to dry it flat to keep its shape. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach as it might damage the fabric. Also, although the fabric is durable, try to avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for long periods as it could cause the colors to fade. These pillows don't need any assembly, so you can start using them right away after unpacking.
