Instead of banging cushions together outside, just toss in dryer one at a time on low setting for about 5 minutes.

I also do this to stuffed animals, just be sure it is on air fluff and not long, otherwise some fur on stuffed animals will singe.

They were too wet from using the wrong method. Some of this could be from oil from dog hair, as I bought it from a friend who never brushed his Rottie or his sofa. Please help.Try vinegar water. I had problems with water stains on the upholstery in my car and used vinegar water. I had to get the hole thing wet however as the first time I ended up with a water ring around the endge.
I would have it done by a professional, the cost of a good cleaning is still far less than a new sofa.
