How to Clean Your Cushions

So I’ve already told you how to care for your wooden furniture. It’s important to regularly clean your furniture to keep up the appearance of your yard. However, one of the biggest problems you might run into is keeping your outdoor cushions clean. If these get dirty, it is pointless to clean the wood because everything will still look bad. Plus, no one want to sit on a dirty cushion! Here are a few quick steps for general outdoor cushion cleaning.
Step One: Start by brushing off any loose dirt that is on the surface of the cushion. You can use your hand or a towel if you would rather.
Step Two: Mix up a cleaning solution that is a quarter cup (2 ounces) mild soap per gallon of lukewarm water. (Make sure your water is no more than 100 degrees)
Step Three: Using a soft bristle brush or sponge, wipe down the entire surface of the cushion.
Step Four: Allow the cleaning solution to completely saturate the fabric
Step Five: Rinse the fabric thoroughly with clean water
Step Six: Just allow the cushion to air dry.

If you just follow these simple steps on a regular basis, you will keep your cushions in top shape! They will be clean, attractive, and totally sit-able!
