Here are some tips on how to clean mould off outdoor cushions and furniture:
- Remove the cushions from the furniture. If the cushions have removable covers, remove them and wash them in the washing machine. If the cushions do not have removable covers, you will need to clean them by hand.
- Mix a solution of one part white vinegar to two parts water. You can also use a commercial mould cleaner, but be sure to follow the instructions on the label.
- Spray the mouldy areas with the vinegar solution. Let the solution sit for 15–20 minutes.
- Scrub the mouldy areas with a brush. Be sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
- Rinse the area with clean water.
- Let the area air-dry completely.
If the mould is severe, you may need to repeat these steps several times. You can also prevent mould from forming in the first place by keeping your outdoor cushions and furniture clean and dry.
Here are some additional tips for preventing mould:
- Store your outdoor cushions and furniture in a dry place when not in use.
- Wipe down your outdoor cushions and furniture after each use.
- Avoid leaving food or drinks on your outdoor cushions and furniture.
- Clean up any spills immediately.
- Aerate your outdoor space by opening windows and doors on a regular basis.

By following these tips, you can help keep your outdoor cushions and furniture free of mould and mildew.
