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.

I'm moving some wicker furniture from inside to my deck. There are some slip-covered cushions as part of the pieces, but i don't think the fabric is very weather resistant. Can i treat the fabric somehow to handle rain, sun, etc or should i just have new cushion covers made?
You have two choices. You can use a scotchguard product that comes as a spray on application available at Target, Wal-Mart and camping stores, like REI. I've had limited success with these products because they do not resist mildew.
The second choice is to use a water-proofer in the washing machine. Since the cushions are slip covered, you can remove the fabric from the cushion material. Spray the cusion material with the scotchguard. Put the fabric covers in the washing machine on the soak cycle and put the water-proofing solution in the water according to the directions on the bottle. (you'll find it marketed under several brand names in the laundry aisle at Wal-Mart and also at camping stores where it is used to waterproof sleeping bags, tennis shoes, etc.) Soak overnight and then spin load without allowing the machine to go through either the wash or rinse cycles. The product is heat set, so run the covers in the dryer at the lowest setting to avoid shrinkage.
If you do decide to have new covers made, Sunbrella makes the best fabric I've ever seen hold up to sun, doesn't fade or mildew, won't stain, can be wiped off with a damp sponge and is almost indestructible. It also has the best choice of fabrics, both patterns and solids, I could find. They don't just have that ugly circus stripe in green, yellow and blue...

I have an outside swing with cushions that have gotten mildew stains on it does anyone know how to remove it? Other than using bleach which with turn it white.
If it is outdoor furniture..(including the cushions) a bleach and water mixture will not hurt it.
I use a garden sprayer mixed half and half. after about 5 minutes take your water hose to it, to rinse it off..and let them sit in the sun to dry. (the sun will also kill the mold)
works for my outdoor cushions great!
good luck!

I have a rattan love seat that has cloth cushions. Obviously the cushions and the fabric that supports the cushions shouldnt get wet. However, I was wondering if I keep this outside and I cover it when we arent using it if it will be ok. I know nothing about stuff like this. This is the first time I have been able to keep something like this outside. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. I just dont want to ruin the furniture.
I live in Pennsylvania. We have pretty humid summers. But what if I keep the cushions inside and only put them outside when we sit there? Might that be ok?
Not sure where you live, but even if you keep it covered, airborn mildew and mold can still grow on your furniture if you live in a damop area. Anything outside in Oregon at my brothers gets mildew on it even when covered. The best place for your furniture is in a temperature controled sun room or enclosed patio that is protected from the natural changes in temperature that include dampness and humidity.
It has fabric cushions that might get damp on a cool night but otherwise the rattan is completly sheltered. Is it ok this way? Or will the moisture in the air ruin it?
the wood will be fine....

Seasonal Care For Patio Furniture Cushions Is A Must To The Life ...
Your patio furniture cushions will benefit a great deal from regular seasonal care, which is an important part of properly maintaining them. Spring and summer are drawing near, making now the perfect time to develop a plan to keep your cushions looking great. The added benefit is that the lifespan of your patio furniture cushions will be extended for many years.
Begin by taking your patio furniture cushions out of storage. You will need to clean them thoroughly with a mild detergent. If you are able to unzip and remove the covers, do so. You can then wash them in your washing machine, on a low cycle.
Do not wash the foam insert because it could cause mildew growth. If you do get the foam wet, then make sure you let it air dry completely prior to replacing the cover. Before using the covers, you might want to consider investing in a protective sealant. You simply spray it on the patio furniture cushions, and it will protect them from any harmful exposures or weather conditions.
