Product Care

A little love goes a long lounge.

Fatboy products are made to be used, enjoyed, admired, and occasionally fought over for the best seat in the house. But even the most legendary loungers, glow-getters, and outdoor show-offs need a little care now and then. The good news: most Fatboy products are easygoing. A quick clean here, a little protection there, and you are back to living large. One important note before we begin: care can vary slightly by fabric, finish, or collection, so always check the care label, product page, or manual for the final word.

Indoor Beanbags & Kids Beanbags

Our indoor beanbags are made for serious relaxing, not serious maintenance. In most cases, a gentle clean with a damp cloth is enough to handle everyday life. Keep them away from sharp objects, and do not place them too close to heaters, hot glass, or sun-baked windows. Too much heat can affect the fabric and filling, and nobody wants a beanbag having a bad day. Over time, the filling may settle a little. That just means it has been doing its job. A refill can help bring back that full, sink-in-and-stay-awhile feeling.

Outdoor Beanbags, Outdoor Poufs & Pool Loungers

Outdoor Fatboy favorites are made to handle the fun, but the outdoors always plays hard. Sun, rain, dirt, sunscreen, snacks, splash attacks, and surprise bird visits are all part of the story. For regular care, wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Let the product dry well, and when possible, store it under cover or use a protective cover during heavy rain or the off-season. Outdoor products are tough, but they are not invincible. Leaving them exposed nonstop will speed up fading, wear, and weathering. A little protection goes a very long way. If your outdoor beanbag or pouf starts looking a little flatter after a lot of lounging, refilling can help bring it back to life.

Indoor Sofas & Lounge Chairs

Spilled something? Stay calm. Most indoor upholstered Fatboy seating is designed to be easy to live with. For day-to-day care, use a damp cloth and gently pat the area clean. For bigger messes, follow the fabric-specific care instructions. Many covers are removable and washable, which is very good news for wine, coffee, snacks, and life in general. To keep your sofa or lounge chair looking its best, rotate cushions when possible, avoid sharp objects, and do not leave upholstered furniture in direct, harsh sunlight for long periods. A little prevention keeps the good looks going strong.

Outdoor Sofas & Seating

Outdoor seating is made for open-air living, but even outdoor favorites need a little backup. Wipe down frames and fabrics regularly, brush off dirt before it settles in, and clean spills before they start feeling permanent. If cushions or covers get wet, let them dry fully and give everything room to breathe. Protective covers are a great idea during heavy rain, long wet stretches, or the off-season, but they are not meant to stay on forever. In humid conditions, moisture can get trapped underneath and cause mold, mildew, or damage to what is inside. The golden rule: cover only dry products, air them out regularly, and never let them sit damp for too long. A little fresh air can save a lot of trouble. Outdoor products are made to handle the elements, but they still do best when kept clean, dry, and properly cared for.

Outdoor Dining Tables & Chairs

Your outdoor dining setup can absolutely handle dinner parties, coffee moments, and long lunches that accidentally become evening drinks. It just likes a little cleanup afterward. Use warm water, mild liquid soap, and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and let everything dry completely. Skip aggressive cleaners, abrasive pads, and harsh chemicals. They are not invited. One small but important note: bird droppings should be cleaned off quickly. The coating does a lot, but even it does not enjoy acid.

Hammocks

Fatboy hammocks are made for floating through the day, not for fussy maintenance. Clean the fabric gently with a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and, if needed, a mild or neutral soap. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals unless the specific product instructions say otherwise. If your hammock has cushions or accessories, treat them like outdoor cushions: keep them dry, store them under cover in rainy weather, and do not leave them soaking for longer than necessary. The golden rule: cover only dry products, air them out regularly, and never let them sit damp for too long. A little fresh air can save a lot of trouble. Outdoor products are made to handle the elements, but they still do best when kept clean, dry, and properly cared for.

Beach, Pool & On-the-Go Lounging

Poolside products and portable loungers are made for fun, but they still deserve a quick rinse and reset after the good times. For inflatable loungers, gently clean with a damp cloth and make sure the product is fully dry before storing. A little loss of air over time is normal. That is not drama, that is physics. For floating loungers, rinse off chlorine or pool residue after use when possible, then let them dry before storing. Sharp objects are still the enemy, even on vacation.

Lighting

Fatboy lighting is here to glow, not to be scrubbed into submission. For most lamps, use a soft cloth, preferably dry or lightly dampened if needed. If soap is necessary, keep it mild and use it sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and overenthusiastic cleaning sessions. For rechargeable lights, always use the recommended charging cable and adapter. When possible, charge indoors and keep charging ports clean and dry. Outdoor-rated lamps can enjoy the fresh air, but they will still last longer if you bring them in during rough weather or long periods of non-use.

Pillows & Cushions

Our pillows are all about adding comfort, color, and just the right amount of extra. For regular care, pat clean with a damp cloth. Outdoor cushions should be allowed to dry fully after rain and stored under cover when not in use for extended periods. Even outdoor fabrics appreciate a break from endless moisture. The rule is simple: lounge freely, but do not leave cushions wet, forgotten, and baking in the sun forever.

Rugs & Carpets

Fatboy rugs are made to handle attention, feet, and daily life, but they still like a little routine. Vacuum regularly to keep them looking fresh. For spills, blot with a damp cloth and avoid rubbing, which only makes the mess more ambitious. If a stain sticks around, professional cleaning is your best next move. For outdoor rugs, let them dry well after rain and keep them clean of standing moisture or debris whenever possible.

Bags

Fatboy bags are built to carry a lot, and yes, we mean a lot. For everyday messes, wipe clean with a damp cloth and treat stains as quickly as possible. Do not attack them with sharp objects, and try not to leave them baking in the sun for too long, since prolonged sun exposure can affect fabric over time. Some bags are machine washable, while others prefer spot cleaning, so always check the label before giving them a spin.

Accent Furniture, Side Tables & Stools

Our side tables, stools, and accent pieces are the quiet heroes of the room. Or patio. Or poolside setup. Most can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Keep things simple, avoid abrasive cleaners, and dry them well after cleaning. If a piece is designed for outdoor use, it will handle the elements better, but it will still look better for longer with regular care and a little protection.

Parasols & Shade

A Fatboy parasol is very good at making shade look stylish. To keep it that way, wipe the frame and fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap when needed. Make sure the fabric is dry before storing, and use the included cover whenever possible. When not in use, especially in rough weather, store under cover or indoors. Sun is great. Sun plus rain plus wind plus neglect is less charming.

The Fatboy Care Philosophy

Use it. Love it. Lounge on it like you mean it.

But also clean it, cover it, dry it, and give it the occasional bit of attention. That is the secret to keeping your Fatboy looking good for the long haul. Because great design is made to be lived with, not tiptoed around.
