A bean bag chair is more than just a cozy seat—it’s a lifestyle essential for relaxing, reading, or spending time with family and friends. But like any furniture, it deserves regular care to keep it fresh, fluffy, and fabulous all year long. The good news? MAXYOYO bean bag chairs are designed with practicality in mind, making cleaning and maintenance a breeze.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to clean and maintain your bean bag chair—from daily upkeep to seasonal deep-cleaning—so it stays looking and feeling brand new.

Why Maintenance Matters for the bean bag chair?

Whether you use your bean bag daily or occasionally, dust, crumbs, pet hair, and everyday wear can take a toll. Regular care:

Extends the life of your bean bag
Keeps it looking neat and stylish
Prevents buildup of allergens or odors
Ensures maximum comfort and support
By developing a year-round maintenance routine, you can protect your investment—and enjoy it for years to come.

1. Check the Care Label First

Before you start cleaning, always check the label or product description. Most MAXYOYO bean bag chairs come with care instructions that make it easy to know whether the cover is machine-washable, wipe-clean only, or requires special handling.

2. Removable Covers? Toss and Wash!

Many MAXYOYO bean bag chairs—especially our Armrest Bean Bag Chairs and other select models—come with zippered, removable covers. These covers are designed to be easily taken off and machine-washed. Here’s how to do it:

How to Wash Removable Covers:
Unzip the outer cover and remove it carefully.

Shake off dust or debris outdoors.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water and mild detergent.

Air dry or tumble dry on low heat to maintain fabric quality.

Pro Tip: Wash the cover alone or with similar materials to avoid color bleeding or damage.

3. No Removable Cover? Use a Fabric Cleaner

If your bean bag chair doesn’t have a removable cover — such as the Fluffy Shaggy Bean Bag Chair or Corduroy Bean Bag Chair — don’t worry. You can still keep it clean with a few simple steps.

How to Clean Non-Removable Covers:
Vacuum the surface using a brush attachment to remove dust, lint, or pet hair.
Spot clean using a mild fabric cleaner or a mix of water and gentle soap.
Dip a soft cloth or sponge in the solution and blot the stained area gently.
Use a dry towel to absorb excess moisture.
Let it air dry completely before sitting again.

Important: Avoid soaking the fabric or using harsh chemicals, as they may damage the texture or color.

4. Keep the Filling Fresh

MAXYOYO uses high-density foam filling for long-lasting comfort. But over time, even the best filling can compress slightly. Fluff your bean bag regularly by shaking and rotating it to redistribute the foam evenly. This helps:

Restore the original shape

Maintain consistent support

Prevent flat spots

If you feel like the bean bag has lost volume over the years, extra foam filling is available to refill and refresh your seat!

5. Preventative Care Tips for Every Season

 Spring/Summer:
Place bean bags away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.

If used outdoors or in sunny rooms, rotate positions to avoid uneven wear.

Use breathable covers to reduce heat buildup.

Fall/Winter:
Deep-clean before the season starts—especially if you’ll be using it more for indoor lounging.

Keep it away from fireplaces or heaters to prevent heat damage.

Add cozy throws or cushions for seasonal styling and protection.

6. Odor Control & Freshening

To keep your bean bag smelling as fresh as it looks:

Sprinkle baking soda on the surface, let it sit for 10–15 minutes, then vacuum it up.

Use a fabric-safe spray refresher or essential oil mist (lavender, lemon, eucalyptus).

Air out the bean bag occasionally by placing it near an open window or outside on a dry day.

7. Quick Cleaning Checklist

 Vacuum regularly
Spot clean stains immediately
Wash removable covers monthly or as needed
Fluff and rotate to maintain shape
Avoid sharp objects or rough handling
Store or cover during long vacations
