Those colorful, comfortable outdoor pillows and cushions add a great festive touch to your backyard. unfortunately, they get stains and other gunk on them. You can restore them to their original state with shaving cream (non-gel type)! Squirt the cream on the stains, then, using an old toothbrush, work in. let this sit for about 15 minutes, then rinse with the hose. You’re done! The foam will have lifted the dirt and also deodorized them.
