Discovering mold on your outdoor cushions can be frustrating. Fortunately, preventing this common issue is straightforward with the right approach. First, invest in high-quality, waterproof cushion covers. These create a barrier against moisture, which is the primary cause of mold growth. When it rains, or if you've finished cleaning the cushions, ensure they are completely dry before placing them back on your furniture or storing them. Never store cushions while they are damp. For storage, choose a cool, dry place with good air circulation; avoid sealing them in plastic bins, as this can trap humidity. Instead, use breathable storage bags. Regularly clean your cushions with a mild soap solution and a soft brush to remove dirt and spores before they can develop into mold. A solution of vinegar and water can also be used as an effective and natural cleaning agent. For long-term protection, consider applying a fabric protector spray designed for outdoor use. By implementing these simple habits—using covers, ensuring thorough drying, and performing regular cleaning—you can significantly extend the life of your outdoor cushions and enjoy a mold-free patio all season long.
