Can canvas outdoor seating be machine-washed without shrinking?
Many people wonder if canvas outdoor seating can be machine-washed without shrinking. The answer depends on the fabric quality and washing method. High-quality, shrink-resistant canvas can typically withstand a gentle machine wash, but always check the manufacturer’s care label first. Use cold water and a mild detergent to minimize the risk of shrinkage. Avoid high heat when drying—air-drying is the safest option. For added durability, consider spot-cleaning stains instead of frequent machine washes. Proper care ensures your canvas seating stays fresh and retains its shape for years.
