Thank you for your interest in the Simsbury Outdoor Loveseat. To clean this item hose off with a water hose; if soiled with more than just dust use a mop bucket with warm water and any house hold detergent like dawn or joy liquid and use a soft bristle brush then rinse with the water hose although this is not necessary but for fast drying sit in the sun after cleaning. The built in cushion is made of open cell foam which does not retain water it expels water vs. normal foam which absorbs water so it does not need to be enclosed. How fast it will dry depends on how much water it has been exposed to, but typically dries within a few hours after a rain.
