I love the nice outdoor cushions you can get for your outside patio or lawn furniture, but they do get dirty. I gave up on bringing them indoors all the time, and by mid summer they were looking a bit grungy.
I came across this perfect recipe for cleaning them outside.
What you will Need:
1 x Cup of Borax (grocery stores or online)
1 x squirt of dish soap
1 x bucket (to mix solution in)
1 x hard bristle brush
Sunny warm day!
Method:
Pour the one cup of borax into your medium sized bucket.
Add water from your garden hose or in the house
While adding water also add a few squirts of dish soap
Mix all together
Take your bristle brush and brush the solution generously all over the cushions and give a good scrub especially near the seams and edges where dirt collects.
Flip over and do the other side. NOTE: Its best to do this on a hard surface such as a patio, deck or driveway rather than the grass.
Take your garden hose and really rinse the cushions to get solution out.
Press on cushions to get out excess water.
Lean up against an outdoor wall or garage to dry.
Outdoor cushions are created from fabrics and inserts that will dry fast.
Put back out on your furniture and you are good to go!
If you are finding your cushions still grubby, maybe it is time to get some new ones!
