Mildew can be a problem for outdoor cushions, but there are easy ways to keep your patio cushions clean and free of mildew. With a few simple steps, you can keep your cushions looking and feeling like new.
The first step is to sweep off any dust and dirt from the cushions. This will help prevent mildew from forming. Make sure to get into the crevices and seams, as dirt can accumulate there. Once you have removed all the dirt, use a garden hose to rinse the cushions.
If the cushions have mildew spots, mix a solution of one part bleach to four parts water. Use a soft brush to scrub the affected areas with the solution. Allow the solution to sit for five minutes, then rinse the cushions with a garden hose.
Next, use a mild soap and water solution to wash the cushions. Use a soft brush to scrub the cushions, and rinse them with a garden hose. If the cushions have stubborn stains, you can use a mild abrasive cleaner. Be sure to rinse the cushions thoroughly after using the cleaner.
After washing and rinsing the cushions, let them dry completely before storing them. If possible, store the cushions in a dry place. This will help prevent mildew from forming in the future. Regularly cleaning your patio cushions with these simple steps will keep them looking and feeling like new.
