How To Clean Outdoor Cushions

Many families have outdoor cushions. The cushions that have been placed outdoors for a long time may have a variety of dirt. So how to clean these outdoor cushions? Today we will introduce you to some different dirt cleaning methods.

1. Mold and mildew spots

When it rains suddenly, we can't always prevent the mat from getting wet, which can sometimes cause mold. While ensuring that your mats are properly drained and dried can help, it cannot always prevent mold and mildew. To remove mold and mildew, you can mix 1/4 cup of dishwashing liquid and 1 cup of bleach per gallon of water. Then soak the mold-grown area in the mixture for 15 minutes, then wet a clean sponge or towel, gently scrub the area, and then rinse thoroughly to make sure there is no residue and let it air dry.

2. Wine stains and beverage stains

Sometimes we sit on outdoor cushions for drinks or alcohol, but there are always times when we accidentally spill drinks on the cushions.

First, quickly use a paper towel to absorb the excess liquid, then spray and soak the affected area with the cleaning liquid, then wipe it clean and let it dry naturally.

3. Grease and oil stains

Sometimes the mat gets oily stains. Do not try to wipe off oil or grease stains, as this may cause them to spread. You can apply cornstarch to the stain, it can act as an absorbent to suck the oil out of the fabric. Then after letting the cornstarch dry, scrape it off. Then use dishwashing liquid and water to remove the remaining stains.

Barbecuing in your backyard is a very interesting thing, but ketchup, mustard and even barbecue sauce stains may remain on your cushions. At this moment, you must quickly absorb these stains. Then mix 1/4 cup of dishwashing liquid per gallon of water, then gently scrub the solution into the stain to loosen it from the fabric. Be sure to rinse off the solution and soap residue thoroughly, and then let it air dry.
