Shorea
Shorea is a tropical hardwood that is comparable to Teak. Because of its high oil content, Shorea easily sheds water making it highly resistant to rotting. Also highly resistant to bug infestation, this heavy wood has a remarkable ability to withstand the effects of wind, rain, sun, and snow. If left untreated, Shorea weathers naturally to a beautiful silver gray. Some surface roughness may develop, especially at the end grain, but over a period of about one year, the natural weather process will stabilize. Moderate checking in the grain is normal with exposure to the elements.

Cleaning your Outdoor Cushions
Cleaning your Outdoor Cushions:
1 teaspoon dishwashing detergent
1 quart warm water
1 tablespoon borax
Saturate a sponge and use it to wash the cushions. You can put it in a spray bottle and saturate cushions on both sides, paying particular attention to the crevices and creases. Let the cushion sit for 15 minutes. Spray the solution off with a hose using a strong force of water. Stand each cushions on its edge out of the direct sun to dry. When almost dry, spray with a fabric protector. To remove dust between cleanings, vacuum as needed. Or, if the cushions are small enough, just shake them out.
