“Foam rubber” is a catchall phrase for material made of a number of different compounds that form the padding in pillows, seat cushions and other furniture. As such, foam rubber cushioning doesn’t normally require cleaning as long as it remains dry. This material does absorb odors, however, and can be air-dried in the shade. Don’t place these cushions in direct sunlight, which will degrade the rubber or synthetic materials used in foam rubber.
