Cleaning and maintaining your Transformer Outdoor Seating™ products is simple. The outdoor set covers are machine washable, making it easy to remove stains, spills, and dirt. Additionally, the waterproof design and integrated drainage allow you to wash the wicker effortlessly with a small amount of soapy water and a garden hose.
