If your patio is shaded, choosing the right fabric for your outdoor furniture cushions is crucial to prevent mildew and moisture damage. The lack of direct sunlight means cushions stay damp longer, creating a perfect environment for mold and mildew growth. To combat this, look for fabrics specifically designed for outdoor use with high mildew resistance. Solution-dyed acrylic fabrics, such as Sunbrella, are a top choice because they are inherently moisture-resistant, quick-drying, and treated to inhibit mildew growth. Polyester fabrics with a protective coating and quick-dry technology are also excellent for shaded areas. Always ensure the fabric is labeled as all-weather, UV-resistant (even in shade), and easy to clean. Regular maintenance, like storing cushions during heavy rain and cleaning spills promptly, will further extend their life and keep your shaded patio looking fresh and inviting.
