I would love to have one of those patio umbrellas with lights running along the inside ribs. Am not enthused about running an electric cord but wonder how long the batteries would last on a battery operated umbrella. Or would an umbrella with solar operated lights be satisfactory.

Can I put my outdoor cushions in the washing machine? A cat has sprayed on them and I can’t get the smell out. I’ve tried spraying them with vinegar and water and poured baking soda on them and the smell is still there. My only other thought is to try the washing machine. Thanks
Thank you! Those are great ideas!
