Outdoor patio cushions can get dirty over time. Whether it’s from rain, dirt, or even food and drinks, keeping these cushions clean will help them last longer. With the right knowledge and materials, cleaning patio cushions is an easy and straightforward task.
The first step is to remove the cushions from the furniture and vacuum them to remove any loose dirt. A handheld vacuum works best for this task and ensure that you get all the nooks and crannies. Once the cushions are vacuumed, you can move on to the cleaning process.
There are many different methods for cleaning cushions. The most basic method is to use a mild detergent and warm water. Mix the detergent and water together in a bucket and use a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub the cushion. Rinse off the detergent with a garden hose and allow the cushions to air dry in the sun.
If your cushions are particularly dirty, you may want to use a stronger cleaning solution such as a bleach and water mixture or a commercial cleaner. Be sure to read the instructions on the cleaning solution to ensure it’s safe for use on patio cushions. After applying the cleaning solution, rinse off with a garden hose and allow to air dry in the sun.
Once the cushions have dried, you may want to apply a fabric protector to help them stay cleaner longer. This will help repel water, dirt, and other substances that can make the cushions dirty. For best results, be sure to read the instructions on the fabric protector and apply it according to the manufacturer’s directions.
