Cleaning Patio Cushions: Do’s and Don’ts from the Pros

If you have a beautiful patio set, it’s probably your favorite place to spend time outside during the warmer months. However, you must make cleaning patio cushions a priority because they get dirty over time. Clean patio cushions to keep them looking beautiful and prevent dirt, bird droppings, tree sap, and other debris from covering up their beautiful designs and patterns.

At Elite Cleaners, we have learned how to clean a variety of textiles and fabrics. We also offer an excellent patio cushion cleaning service in Wichita, KS, to help you keep your outdoor furniture cushions clean. Learn the do’s and don’ts of cleaning patio cushions, then call us.

Do Invest in Removable Covers

Outdoor cushion covers that you can slip on and off are much easier to clean. You should first shake out or sweep away any loose dirt with a soft bristle brush. You can also use a small vacuum with an upholstery attachment to suck up dirt and debris from outdoor furniture.

Don’t Let Moisture Build Up

You can look for water-resistant and protective outdoor cushions, but you still need to keep them from getting saturated.

While your outdoor patio cushions are designed for an outdoor space, too much water can cause mold and mildew to accumulate. You might even end up with unsightly mildew stains, but keeping your patio cushions clean can help prevent them.

White vinegar and baking soda are both great mold and mildew-fighting agents. Use them to clean outdoor cushions periodically throughout the warmer months.

Do Use a Safe and Effective Cleaning Solution

For spot cleaning, create a cleaning solution of white vinegar and water and place it in a spray bottle. Spray the stains and leave for 20 minutes before blotting the cushion fabric to dry.

You can fully clean your outdoor cushions by placing them in a bucket full of warm water and mild detergent. Scrub them gently with a brush and rinse the soap out with a garden hose. Hang them in the shade (the sun causes fading) to air dry completely.

You can also use a pressure washer to clean stubborn stains like sap. You must only use a low-pressure nozzle to avoid damaging your outdoor cushions. Fill the dispenser with a suitable cleaning substance and apply. Scrub with a brush, then finally, rinse away the soap with the pressure washer. You should also hang out your clean outdoor cushions to air dry.

Don’t Neglect Treating Stains

Prevent the early replacement of your patio furniture cushions by treating stains immediately. Whether you spot clean or soak them with dish soap and warm water, your outdoor cushions will last longer. Neglecting stains on your outdoor fabrics can cause permanent damage, and they look unappealing.
