Wool is dirt repellent and the cushions should hardly ever be cleaned - especially not machine-washed. In case of stains try first with a little water. Wait till the water has dissolved the stain and press with a dry cloth. The cushion can also be douched lightly in running water. Press out the water, do not wring. The cushion should be left to dry in a well-aired place - make sure it dries in a flat and horizontal position. The cushion is meant for sitting - do not press it out of shape.
