How to clean outdoor furniture cushions with mold?
Luma Daybed with Chocolate Cushion

I purchased a porch swing last year and recently discovered two spots that look dark like mold on them. The swing was snowed this past winter and has now dried thoroughly. I was wondering if there is something I can use to spot clean to remove these stains that will not damage the fabric. The cushions are too large to put in my washing machine.


Yes Chlorine or bleach diluted in water use very little bleach and
a little joy. You remove mold in layers so scrubbing is most often
necessary. Also there is an environmentally friendly product
available at http://www.greenmoldcleaner.com/

So why get cushions for?

How do you remove mildew spots from outdoor furniture cushions?

The fabric is a print so I can not use any bleach/produts that contain bleach.


Exposing a stained article to the sunlight will kill off the mildew/ mold, but if a stain is left , apply lemon juice to washable fabrics and leave to dry . A peroxide solution may also be used on washable fabrics

How do I deter squirrels from ruining my outdoor furniture cushions, this is the second set they've destroyed?

the squirrels have used their claws to open up the fabric then they have proceded to tear out the stuffing to use for their nests.


You can get a chemical spray from the pet store that deters animals from chewing. It is like a bitter, unharmful chemical that animals find unpleasant. I have a pet squirrel and bought some to keep her from doing precisely what your outdoor squirrels are doing. She would chew up my couch pillows and use the stuffing to haul back in her cage to stuff in her nest box;0) It worked.

Another way to do it is power washing them. That's the way my husband does, it and it's one less thing for me to do!
Then you just ket them air dry in the sun. You could wash them in the tub, or scrub them with something, this way is quicker and very effective.
They come out looking very new.

Is it okay to leave outdoor furniture cushions outside in the rain?

That's probably a silly question. I imagine they are made for outdoors, but I wasn't sure if they were okay even if they weren't covered when it rains. I didn't want them to mildew or stay wet for days or anything....


Depending on the fabric (sunbrella, acrylics, spun poly)... you should be able to keep your cushions out in the rain if you're just talking an occasional sprinkle or light rain. They should be stored indoors during rainy seasons though.

  • Custom Patio Chair Cushions | Home and Garden Co.

    If you are looking for some new patio chair cushions , then you are in the perfect place to do it from – online!  There are more selections and better pricing strategies online than anywhere else.  Sure, your local brick and mortar outdoor furniture store or home improvement warehouse is a bit quicker, but why waste the money?  Well, it isn’t necessarily a waste of money, per se, it is just that you are more likely to pay more for your chair cushions if you go to the store than if you purchase from one of the online retailers.  This is especially true of custom cushions.

    Most patio furniture has measurements that can accommodate a custom made cushion that will be much more enjoyable than a standard one you’ll find in one of the big box retailers.  Unless your furniture comes with its own set of cushions, you’ll need to order them anyway, so you might as well go with a custom style.  These are so plush and comfortable that you’ll be surprised that you aren’t sitting on indoor furniture.  This is how far patio cushions have come.  Of course, with custom designs, you can have specific details like monograms and other unique features added to them.
