Cleaning Outdoor Furniture Cushions

I have some lawn chairs that are kind of cotton, white with green flowers that after it rained they started to grow mold all over them. The humidity is so high here, I am sure that combined with the rain caused it. Now how do I get rid of it? How do I keep it from coming back? They are outside chairs.

What can I use to clean my outdoor furniture cushions with? My cushions need to be cleaned and I was thinking about taking them to the Laundromat and using automatic dish washing detergent (as they have mold stains in the creases). Has anyone else done this, or do you have something that you use that works well?

Thanks,

RE: Cleaning Outdoor Furniture Cushions

If cotton, I have no advice. If thicker threaded weave of vinyl, like mine, I used 1/2 bleach and 1/2 hot water then sprayed and brushed at same time, quickly rinsing. It had the beginnings of mold and dirt all over, but came perfectly clean when I rinsed it and let all cushions dry in sunlight. Good luck. God bless you.(01/16/2007)

I am trying to clean some patio outdoor furniture cushions that I believe are waterproof without affecting the waterproof ability of the cushions.

How do I clean my outdoor cushions before I put them away for the winter?

My outdoor cushions have 1 year old mold on them. How do I clean this up?
