Outdoor furniture cushions need regular cleaning to keep them looking their best. With the right approach, it’s easy to keep your patio cushions looking bright and new. Here’s how to keep the cushions for your outdoor furniture in top condition.
Start by brushing the cushions with a soft bristle brush. This will help to remove any dirt, debris, or debris that may be stuck in the fabric. Use gentle strokes and avoid scrubbing too hard. If the cushion is heavily soiled, you can use a mild detergent to help loosen the dirt.
Once the cushion is brushed, use a bucket of warm water and a mild detergent to scrub the cushion. This should remove any surface dirt, but if the cushion is still stained, you may want to pre-treat the stain with a special cleaner. Once the stain is pre-treated, rinse the cushion with clean water.
For a deeper clean, you may want to use a pressure washer. Be sure to use a gentle setting, as too much pressure can damage the fabric. If you have removable cushions, you can also put them in the washing machine and use a gentle cycle. You should never put your cushions in the dryer.
Finally, let the cushions air dry in a shaded area. Once they’re completely dry, you can fluff the cushions to restore their original shape. You should also apply a waterproofing agent to protect the cushions from the elements. Following these steps will help keep your patio cushions looking new for years to come.
