A perfect outdoor space setting is made up of a combination of furniture items and accessories. Outdoor bean bags are one of our favorite picks and becoming an important element in our outdoor settings. These bean bags are made to withstand multiple weather conditions and withstand moisture and fluctuating temperatures. In addition to their durability, they are stylish and comfortable. It is necessary to keep these bean bags clean to maintain their usability. Keeping these bean bags clean will have them looking brand new for longer too.
Here are some effective ways to take care of your stylish and comfortable outdoor bean bags:
Store Them:
If you neglect your outdoor beanbags when not in use they may gradually start deteriorating and losing their original shape, structure, and looks. If you are not using your outdoor bean bags or not going to use them for several weeks or months, it is better to keep them safe in a dry place. This will help you in saving your bean bags from the effect of the elements and keep them looking fresh and new. Move them indoors for use in colder months or pack them away until you’re ready to use them again. Looking after your bean bags means you can enjoy them year after year.
Avoid Excess Humidity:
Usually, outdoor bean bags are waterproof and can withstand humid weather conditions. However, if you live in a region with excessive humidity or rain it might affect the shape and look of your bean bags. Too much exposure to moisture can speed up the deterioration of bean bags. Therefore, if you are living in an area with these conditions, it is better to place your outdoor bean bags under some shade or in a cool dry place where they are not exposed and at risk. The presence of moisture can also create an ideal environment for the growth of mold and algae on the surface of bean bags. This would not only impact the look of bean bags but also make them unfit for use.
Don’t use in Pool:
Some people think of bean bags as floating devices that will float on the surface of pool water. These bean bags may float on the surface of the water but they are surely not manufactured for this purpose. As already discussed, exposure to excess water will create problems for your bean bag.
Clean Gently:
If your bean bag looks dirty, use a soft and damp piece of cloth to remove the dirt from its surface. You can also use warm soapy water to clean your bean bag along with cloth pieces to remove any drink spills, food, dirt, and stains. Make sure you are not using any harsh chemical cleaning products that might contain bleach because it would affect the color of your bean bag and make it dull. Make sure that the bean bag surface is completely dry before using it again.
What else do I pay attention to?
Tip 1: The sitting position
Many people are bent over at the computer every day while they work. But even at home people are sitting more and more nowadays. Unfortunately, the risk of back problems increases considerably. However, poor sitting also contributes to other problems such as headaches, joint complaints, RSI, and stress. A bean bag can help prevent some of these problems. The fact that beanbags do not take a strong shape, such as a chair, means that they can form ergonomically around the body. This relieves the burden on muscles and joints and gives you more freedom of movement while still supporting your back well.
Tip 2: The right color
Buy a bean bag with a matching color or not. It is often a good idea to choose a color that matches the colors of the home furnishings or contrasts enormously. Bean bags can be bought in many different colors, but also in prints and with patterns. Another option is to buy personalized beanbags. It’s nice to give a beanbag with a name as a gift. Printed bean bags are also fun for companies, they are often used at fairs, events, and waiting rooms.
Tip 3: The right material
Choose appropriate material. Bean bags made of sail material, polyester, or stretchable cotton will have a modern and trendy look, while (artificial) colored beanbags may fit better in a house with somewhat more traditional decor, although it remains that tastes differ. Please note that some fabrics are better suited for outdoor use than others, this is indicated in the product description. If you are looking for an extra soft bean bag, choose a fabric bean bag.
Tip 4: The correct shape and size
Take into account the shape and size. How do you want to use your beanbag? If you really want to relax, you can safely purchase a classic bean bag. Do you want to sink into your seat while taking a sitting position that you can even work in? Then buying a bean bag chair might be smarter. This is a good tip for people who work at home, it is soothing to work while you relax. Take a good look at the dimensions and keep in mind that a beanbag requires more space than just the dimensions themselves. Because of its unique shape, it is often nicer to place the beanbag somewhat freely, without too much furniture around it.
