[C320-list] Cleaning Cushion Covers

Denny,
I've heard that soaking the zipper in straight dish washing liquid frees them up.  Never done it myself so can't guarente.
Good luck,
Bruce

The zippers on my cushions are corroded and frozen solid. Any suggestions on
how to get them to move? I don't mind dry cleaning the covers, or even the
Woolite suggestion from Jeff, but I don't want to soak the foam cushions
themselves, unless there seems to be good reason to do so.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Allan-
I have those blue covers as well, and the manual says they should only be
cleaned with dry cleaning solution. I suppose you could get some of the
solution and try doing it yourself but it might be easier just to take them
in and have them done professionally.
