Tips

Clean your outdoor furniture cushions regularly to prevent them from getting too dirty.
If the cushions are very dirty, you may need to soak them in a cleaning solution for a few hours before scrubbing them.
Be sure to rinse the cushions thoroughly after cleaning them to remove any soap residue.
Allow the cushions to dry completely before putting them back on your furniture to prevent mildew from forming.
If your cushions are made of a delicate fabric, be sure to test the cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area before using it on the entire cushion.
