Garden furniture cushions are tougher than their indoor cousins \u2014 more resistant to UV rays and moisture \u2014 but without regular cleaning, that protective coating will fade, colours dull, and the fabric starts to break down faster than it should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer gatherings and BBQ parties can leave their mark on the cushion&#8217;s fabric, too. Generally in the form of nasty and stubborn stains that can permanently change the look of your beautiful patio furniture. Deep cleaning the outdoor cushions seems challenging because of the specifics of the material, but you can still get the desired results in no time. How? Just keep reading on!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d9dd;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f3f7;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a41;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><strong>TL;DR<\/strong> The best way to clean outdoor cushions is to brush off loose dirt, wash them with mild soap and warm water, rinse thoroughly, then let them dry completely before putting them back outside. For most cushions, the process is simple: brush or vacuum away dust, pollen, leaves, crumbs, and loose dirt; mix warm water with a small amount of mild dish soap or detergent; gently scrub the fabric using a soft brush, sponge, or microfibre cloth; rinse with clean water; treat mould with a vinegar and water solution if needed; and dry the cushions completely in a warm, breezy spot before using or storing them. If your outdoor cushions don&#8217;t have removable covers, use less water and avoid soaking the foam inside. <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/brisbane\/upholstery-cleaning\/\">Upholstery cleaning services<\/a> are always available if you&#8217;re having a hard time dealing with this task.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d9dd;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f3f7;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3>In this article:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#2\">Check the label before cleaning<\/a><\/li><li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#5\">How to clean outdoor cushions step by step<\/a><\/li><li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#6\">Can you machine wash outdoor cushions?<\/a><\/li><li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#3\">Effective stain removal techniques<\/a><\/li><li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#1\">How often to clean outdoor cushions<\/a><\/li><li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#4\">How to keep outdoor furniture clean<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2\">Check the label before cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start scrubbing, check the care label. Annoying? Slightly. Worth it? Absolutely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outdoor cushions are made from different fabrics, including polyester, acrylic, canvas, olefin, and treated water-resistant or UV-resistant materials. Some covers can go in the washing machine. Others need hand cleaning only. Some can handle vinegar, while others may react badly to bleach, hot water, or strong stain removers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The big thing to remember is this: outdoor fabric is tough, not indestructible. Harsh cleaning can fade the colour, weaken seams, strip protective coatings, or shrink removable covers so badly you&#8217;ll need a wrestling match to get them back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the label before using bleach, machine washing, tumble drying, or attacking stains with anything stronger than mild soap and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5\">Best way to clean outdoor cushions step by step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the safest method for most outdoor cushions. It&#8217;s gentle enough for regular cleaning, but still strong enough to deal with the usual outdoor mess: dust, crumbs, pollen, sunscreen marks, rain spots, and light grime.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e5e5;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a41;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\">\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Soft-bristle brush or handheld vacuum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Bucket<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Warm water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Mild dish soap or gentle detergent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> White vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Bicarbonate of soda<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Sponge or microfibre cloth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Garden hose on low pressure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Clean towels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Sunny, breezy drying spot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-how-to wp-block-yoast-how-to-block\"><p class=\"schema-how-to-description\"><\/p> <ol class=\"schema-how-to-steps\"><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1788349830001\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Remove loose dirt, leaves and dust<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Start with the cushions dry. Shake them out, brush them down, or vacuum them with an upholstery attachment if you have one. Pay extra attention to seams, corners, piping, buttons, and folds \u2014 that&#8217;s where dirt likes to hide. In Australia, outdoor cushions can pick up a lovely mix of dust, pollen, sand, pet hair, ash, dry leaves, and BBQ crumbs. Get that off first. Once it gets wet, it turns into a muddy paste.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1788349830002\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Mix a gentle cleaning solution<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Fill a bucket with warm water and add a small amount of mild dish soap or gentle detergent. You don&#8217;t need half the bottle. More soap doesn&#8217;t mean a better clean \u2014 it usually just means more rinsing. If the cushions smell musty or have light mildew, you can use white vinegar and water as a separate spot treatment. Patch test first, especially on darker or patterned fabrics.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1788349830003\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Scrub the fabric gently<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Dip a soft brush, sponge, or microfibre cloth into the soapy water, then scrub the cushion gently. Work across the whole surface rather than attacking one dirty patch as if it personally offended you. Use small circular motions and be a bit more careful around seams and edges. The goal is to lift the grime, not rough up the fabric or damage any protective coating.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1788349830004\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Rinse away the soap<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Rinse the cushion with clean water. A garden hose on low pressure works well for many outdoor cushions, as long as the care label allows it. Don&#8217;t use a pressure washer unless the manufacturer clearly says it&#8217;s safe. Too much pressure can damage seams, push water deep into the foam, and make the cushion much harder to dry.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1788349830005\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Blot and dry completely<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Press clean towels into the cushion to remove as much water as possible. Don&#8217;t twist or wring it like a dishcloth \u2014 that can bend the cushion out of shape. Stand the cushion upright in a warm, breezy spot so air can move around it. Flip it now and then. Check the seams, corners, and thicker areas before putting it back on the furniture. This bit matters: don&#8217;t store outdoor cushions while they&#8217;re damp. Don&#8217;t put them back flat on the chair if they still feel cool or heavy with moisture. That&#8217;s how musty smells and mould come back.<\/p> <\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#c10063;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#db007d;border-color:#ffccff;color:#ffffff;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> While a pressure washer can also be used to deep clean outdoor cushions, you have to be careful not to damage the fabric.

Still, if you decide on it, use just a little bit of the product when mould is present or for heavily-stained light fabrics.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If your patio chair or lounge cushions come with a zipper, then you are in luck. Since the covers are removable, you&#8217;ll have no problem taking them off and placing them in the washing machine as often as you like. As for the stuffing, you can air out the cushions somewhere sunny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your cushion covers don&#8217;t have a zipper and aren&#8217;t removable, don&#8217;t machine wash \u2014 stick to hand-cleaning with minimal water to avoid saturating the foam insert.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d9dd;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f3f7;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a41;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/how-to-clean-white-leather-sofa\/\">How to Clean and Restore a White Leather Couch<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3\">Effective stain removal techniques for outdoor cushions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lawn furniture may be more resistant to staining, but it is not immune to it. Below you will find some of the most common types of stains you may encounter and tips on how to remove them without much effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to clean the mould off outdoor cushions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/how-to-get-rid-of-mould\/\">Mould and mildew<\/a> both favour dampness; considering the conditions outdoors, do not be surprised if you see them appear on your garden furniture. In order to get mould off the cushions, you can try a few things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chlorine bleach is considered a powerful mould killer, but we suggest you resort to it only in the worst-case scenario. There are natural home remedies that can help clean the mildew and mould off the outdoor cushions, too. So put on your protective gloves and choose an option:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Vinegar and water spray<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Borax and water solution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Vinegar, water and essential oils (thyme, tea tree, clove) blend<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For most cases, a 1:1 white vinegar and water solution applied with a spray bottle and left for 10\u201315 minutes before scrubbing works well; borax is a stronger option for heavier mould growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let the cleaner work, and then wash and dry the cushions. The best way to prevent mould and mildew is to protect the fabric from liquids. If the cushions get wet, make sure you set them to dry right away. The same applies to for when you wash them by hand or in the washing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eliminating bird poop stains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to predict when you may get a visit from birds, and what they leave behind can be really unpleasant to clean. Still, though, not impossible. Just prepare and do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Gently scrape off all of the excess dirt with a plastic tool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Spray the stain with a mixture of warm water and detergent. Any enzyme-based cleaners are also welcome to try. You can scrub a little bit with a toothbrush to get the solution deeper into the fabric.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Then wash and rinse the outdoor furniture&#8217;s cover. If stains are still visible, you can repeat the procedure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting rid of tree sap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a tricky one because tree sap stains get harder with time, which makes cleaning more difficult. However, there is one thing to help you effectively remove it:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Apply a small amount of hand sanitiser with a high percentage of alcohol on the tree sap affected area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Rub it gently into the fabric with your fingers or a small brush.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Leave it there for 2-5 minutes to work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Wipe clean with water and a cloth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Repeat if the stain is still visible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making food stains go away<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a snack out in the garden is a real pleasure until some of it gets on the furniture&#8217;s covering. No need to worry too much! While greasy stains are very stubborn once they penetrate deeper, you can prevent soiling with a simple trick:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> As soon as you notice the stain, generously apply salt on it until it&#8217;s fully covered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Leave it there for 5-10 minutes until the crystals absorb the greasy substance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Brush the salt off and clean with warm water and soap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> If you have a product specifically for stains, you can add a little bit, too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Wash and leave to dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1\">How often is it best to clean your patio furniture&#8217;s cushions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike indoor furniture, the pieces in your backyard are constantly exposed to various factors that could contaminate their fabric.

You can increase the frequency if you spend a lot of time in your backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is one important thing to remember, though, before you begin. <strong>Never miss checking the cushions&#8217; label for washing instructions.<\/strong> While more resistant, outdoor furniture&#8217;s fabric can still be damaged by improper cleaning or when more aggressive detergents like bleach are used.
