Patio Furniture Cushion Covers
We’re the patio furniture capital of the USA
In 2015, realtor.com ranked the top 10 medium to large cities in the USA with the highest percentage of swimming pools in their backyards.
The survey found that 5 of the top 10 cities in the USA are located in the metro Phoenix area: Scottsdale (#2), Tempe (#3), Chandler (#4), Glendale (#5) and Gilbert (#6).
Of course, with all these pools come lots of patio furniture. And with patio furniture, come even more patio cushion covers.
Now here’s the rub…
Because we live in the desert, your patio cushion covers are constantly exposed – throughout the summer – to a combination of dust storms and monsoons as well as oils from suntan lotions and creams.
And the likely result?
Your patio cushion covers get stained and soiled.
These stains and soiling are typically evidenced by
- Tide lines: Think of the ocean washing up on a sandy beach and then receding, leaving a “tide line” on the sand.
- Oil stains: Think of a wall that was “touched up” with a paint color that was slightly darker than the original color.
- Mold: Think of old cheese that’s developed greenish or blackish fungus-like marks. (Please note: no guarantee can be provided that all mold stains are fully removable).
After each summer season, you might conclude that you need to replace your cushion covers.
Given the cost of replacement – particularly if your cushion covers were custom made – there’s a more cost-effective solution: RAVE FabriCARE’s patio cushion cover cleaning service.
At RAVE FabriCARE, we can restore your patio cushion covers to their former beauty.
Please note that the scorching Arizona sun can fade the colors of certain fabrics, even the so-called non-fade fabrics such as Sunbrella. Sun fade is permanent damage to the color of the fabric and cannot be reversed. Your patio cushion covers will be absolutely clean but any change in color caused by the sun is permanent.
In-store service and pickup and delivery service
You can drop off your patio cushion covers at our facility in the Scottsdale Airpark or we can pick them up if you’re an existing pick up and delivery client.
If you are not an existing pick up and delivery client, we can pick up and deliver for a nominal additional charge. You must reside within the geographical area covered by our pickup and delivery route system to be eligible for pickup and delivery service.
Pricing
Our prices are based on the
- number of identical patterned/colored cushion covers,
- sizes of the individual cushion covers,
- type and degree of staining and soiling, and
- ability to easily remove and replace the filling (typically foam).
In order to ensure that our pricing is consistently accurate, we charge by size (as measured in square inches). Prices range from a high of 10 cents/square inch to a low of 5c/square inch. The greater the number of like color/fabric cushion covers cleaned, the less the per square inch cost.
For example, a single, zippered, non-buttoned, 30" (length) x 20" (width) x 5" (height) cushion cover would cost $87.50 (10c/square inch).
If you brought in, say, five zippered, non-buttoned, 30" x 20" x 5" cushion covers, the cost might drop to $52.50 each (6c/square inch).
Please note:
- there is a 20% surcharge to remove the foam fillers from your patio cushion covers prior to cleaning and reinsert those foam fillers into your patio cushion covers after cleaning.
Please note: If your patio cushion covers do not have zippers, we offer 2 options:
(1) Open up a side seam on each patio cushion cover in order to remove the foam fillers and then resew those open seams after the foam fillers have been reinserted, or
(2) open up a side seam on each patio cushion cover in order to remove the foam fillers and then add new zippers before reinserting the foam fillers.
There is an additional charge for this tailoring service. Each set of patio cushion covers must be individually evaluated in order to provide you with a tailoring quote. As a general rule, our pricing for this service is based on the labor time. Labor time is based, for the most part, on the size and construction of your patio cushion covers.
- there is a 20% surcharge to attempt to remove mold and/or mildew on patio cushion covers.
Turnaround
Our typical turnaround time is about 1 to 2 weeks.
There are numerous factors that could affect the actual turnaround time, such as condition, construction and necessary repairs prior to cleaning and/or restoration.
