Using these blue and white gingham throw pillows is a breeze. You can place them on your indoor sofas, chairs, or outdoor patio furniture to instantly spruce up the area. They're great on their own or can be mixed with other decorative items for a more personalized look. As for maintenance, since they're water - resistant and UV - resistant, you can leave them outside without much worry. But if they get dirty, you can gently spot - clean them with a mild detergent and water. There's no need to assemble these pillows as they come ready to use. Just make sure not to use them for commercial purposes, and they're not subject to Prop65 regulations.
