How to Clean Mould Off Outdoor Cushions

Mould can be a common problem for outdoor cushions, especially in humid climates. Not only is mould unsightly, but it can also cause health problems, such as allergies and respiratory infections. That's why it's important to know how to clean mould off outdoor cushions.

The first step in cleaning mould off outdoor cushions is to identify the type of mould. There are many different types of mould, and each type requires a different cleaning method. Once you've identified the type of mould, you can choose the appropriate cleaning solution. Bleach, vinegar, and tea tree oil are all effective mould cleaners. You may also choose commercial mould remover which is available at most hardware stores.

Once you've chosen a cleaning solution, apply it to the mouldy area and allow it to sit for several minutes. This will give the solution time to kill the mould.

After the solution has sat for several minutes, scrub the mouldy area with a brush. This will help to remove the mould and any spores that may be present. Rinse the area thoroughly with water afterwards.

If the mould is severe, you may need to repeat the cleaning process several times.

Once the mould has been removed, it's important to dry the cushions thoroughly. This will help to prevent the mould from growing back.

Here are some additional tips for preventing mould from growing on outdoor cushions:

Store cushions in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use.
If cushions get wet, dry them thoroughly before storing them.
Avoid using cushions in areas that are prone to mould, such as near pools or hot tubs.
Clean cushions regularly with a bleach solution or other mould cleaner.
