How Do You Clean Mildew Off Of Outdoor Cushions

Mildew is a type of fungus that can grow on outdoor cushions, especially in humid climates. It can cause the cushions to become discolored, smelly, and even unhealthy to sit on. If you have mildew on your outdoor cushions, don't worry – it's not difficult to clean.

Here are the steps on how to clean mildew off of outdoor cushions:

1. Gather your supplies.

You will need the following supplies to clean mildew off of outdoor cushions:

* A bucket or large bowl * Dish soap * White vinegar * A soft brush or sponge * A hose * A clean cloth

2. Mix your cleaning solution.

In a bucket or large bowl, mix together 1 gallon of water, 1/2 cup of dish soap, and 1 cup of white vinegar. Stir until the solution is well mixed.

3. Apply the cleaning solution to the cushions.

Dip a soft brush or sponge into the cleaning solution and apply it to the mildewed areas of the cushions. Be sure to scrub gently so that you don't damage the fabric.

4. Rinse the cushions.

Once you have applied the cleaning solution to all of the mildewed areas, rinse the cushions thoroughly with a hose. Be sure to remove all of the cleaning solution from the cushions.

5. Dry the cushions.

Allow the cushions to air dry completely. Do not put them in the dryer, as this could damage the fabric.

Tips:

* If the mildew is severe, you may need to repeat the cleaning process several times. * You can also use a commercial mildew cleaner to clean outdoor cushions. Be sure to follow the directions on the product label. * To prevent mildew from growing on your outdoor cushions, store them in a dry place when not in use. You can also cover them with a tarp or plastic cover to protect them from the elements.
