URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Keeping your urban outdoor furniture cushions protected during the rainy season is key to maintaining their appearance and longevity. Here is a practical guide. First, always start with a thorough cleaning. Brush off loose dirt and follow the manufacturer's label to wash the covers or the entire cushion. Use a mild soap solution for spot cleaning. Crucially, ensure cushions are completely dry before storing. Any trapped moisture will lead to mold and mildew. Air dry them in the sun, flipping occasionally, or use a fan indoors if the weather is damp. Invest in high-quality, breathable waterproof storage bags or bins with tight-sealing lids. These will shield cushions from rain and dust while allowing minimal air circulation. Before placing cushions inside, consider using a waterproof furniture cover for the entire piece if possible. For limited space, stack the cushions neatly in their bags and store them in a cool, dry place like a closet, under a bed, or on elevated shelves in a garage. Avoid placing them directly on concrete floors, which can draw moisture. A simple, consistent routine of clean, dry, and cover will ensure your stylish urban outdoor cushions are ready for sunny days ahead.
