GEMMProductions, in partnership with Extreme Lounging, has the inside track on a line of Lifestyle B-Bags to suit every taste and environment! Yet, even the most robust products will last longer with some extra TLC, and several methods and products can keep these popular, durable, and comfy chairs like new!
How to Care for Your Outdoor Bean Bags in the UAE
Outdoor living is a significant part of life in the United Arab Emirates, and the Outdoor B-Bag by Extreme Lounging is perfect for relaxing outdoors. A regular maintenance schedule will help ensure bean bags stay crisp and clean — especially if you do not have the superior products offered by GEMMProductions in partnership with Extreme Lounging. The humid climate and frequent use can sometimes lead to mould, odours, and other issues, especially when kids are involved, leaving bean bags wet after swimming. This guide will help you keep your outdoor bean bags fresh, clean, and in top condition despite the UAE’s challenging weather.
Combating Humidity and Mould
In the UAE, the high humidity can lead to mould, especially if outdoor furniture is not properly maintained. You might notice a musty smell or black mould spots appearing on your bean bags if they aren’t dried out properly. To avoid this, use a fabric-friendly spray with eucalyptus oil, which naturally helps fight mould and bacteria. Regularly applying this spray will help prevent mould growth in damp, humid environments.
Cleaning Your Bean Bags
When it’s time to clean your outdoor bean bags, choose a product that’s environmentally safe and effective at eliminating mould spores. One great option is Zinsser Outdoor Fabric and Furniture Stain Remover Spray, which is specifically designed to kill mould and keep it from returning. This cleaner not only targets mould but also removes other stubborn stains like:
• Ink
• Permanent marker
• Blood
• Red wine
• Boot polish
• Lipstick
It’s simple to use: just spray it on, leave it for 5 to 10 minutes, and reapply if needed for heavy mould buildup. Always make sure to fully dry your bean bags in a shaded area to prevent the growth of new mould. This step is crucial, especially after rain or poolside use when they’ve been exposed to water.
Dealing with Wet Swimwear
If you have young children using the bean bags while still in their wet swimwear, it is important to dry the bean bags thoroughly afterward. Constant exposure to moisture can not only cause mould but can also lead to fabric degradation over time. Make it a habit to shake off excess water and let the bean bags dry completely in a well-ventilated area after use. Extreme Lounging offers tough, waterproof fabric with double stitching and UV resistance in direct sunlight with their Outdoor B-Bag line, making it effortless to maintain! GEMMProductions is proud to partner with a company that maintains high standards of quality and care.
Environmentally Friendly Solutions
If you’re concerned about allergies or the environmental impact of your cleaning products, look for natural cleaners. These options are gentle on both the fabric and the environment, as they don’t release harmful chemicals into the air, groundwater, or surrounding plants. They also won’t cause damage to the materials of your bean bags, ensuring their longevity.
Keep Your Bean Bags Looking New
Regular cleaning and drying will help your outdoor bean bags last for years, maintaining their appearance and comfort. With a little extra care, you can enjoy fresh, mould-free seating no matter how humid the weather or how much poolside fun your family has.
Another helpful way to keep your bean bag chairs in fantastic condition is to ensure you get high-quality, durable chairs from a company that cares about producing the best at affordable prices! Double stitching, UV resistant, weatherproof, breathable vents — the experts at Extreme Lounging have thought of everything with their Lifestyle B-Bags!
