Most outdoor cushion fabrics can be easily cleaned using a mild detergent. Spills and spots can often be quickly treated using dampened soft cloth or sponge dampened with one part water to two parts mild soap solution, then rinsed out. Rinse again thoroughly afterwards to allow cushion to air dry completely. For mildew or mould that has formed on its surface, a solution of one part bleach to one part water may help scrub away spores before air drying takes place completely.
At the start and end of every season, your cushion covers should receive a thorough cleaning to maintain their freshness. To do so, remove them and machine-wash on either cold or warm cycles with mild laundry detergent before air drying before reinserting onto foam inners. It may be beneficial to cover them during winter months to help protect from dirt and insects.
Once the weather turns nasty, be sure to shake off any excess water from your cushions and leave them out to air dry before storing them away. This step should be especially diligent if you live in an area with frequent rainy or snowy seasons, since moisture can lead to mould and mildew even on fabrics treated with antimicrobial treatment. When storing, be sure to use plastic storage bags with ventilation holes for air flow – otherwise leaving damp conditions can result in mould growth over time.
