How to Clean Mold Off Patio Cushions

Mold can be a stubborn problem to remove from patio cushions, but it's important to act quickly to prevent it from damaging the fabric. There are a few different ways to clean mold off patio cushions, depending on the severity of the mold and the type of fabric the cushions are made of.

For mild mold growth:

1. Vacuum the cushions thoroughly to remove any loose mold spores.

2. Fill a bucket or sink with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap.

3. Dip a soft cloth or sponge in the soapy water and wring out any excess water.

4. Gently scrub the moldy areas of the cushions with the damp cloth or sponge, and rinse the cloth or sponge frequently in the soapy water.

5. Allow the cushions to air dry completely in a sunny spot or in a well-ventilated area.

For more severe mold growth:

1. If the mold growth is more severe, you may need to use a stronger cleaning solution, such as a bleach solution or a commercial mold cleaner. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when using any cleaning solution.

2. Apply the cleaning solution to the moldy areas of the cushions, and allow it to sit for the amount of time specified in the manufacturer's instructions.

3. Rinse the cushions thoroughly with water, and allow them to air dry completely.
