Nothing beats relaxing with friends under a beautiful sunlit sky while sipping mojitos from your patio furniture seat cushions that are resistant to moisture and fading. To add comfort for outdoor seating, invest in moisture resistant cushions.
Look for ties that secure covers to prevent them from blowing away in windy conditions, making removal and washing of pillows and cushions much simpler when necessary.
Covers and Outdoor Cushions at Sam’s Club
If you have purchased quality patio furniture, it is essential that it remains protected from the elements. One effective method for doing so is covering your cushions with covers – these can help to keep mold and mildew at bay as well as protect them from UV rays from the sun’s UV rays and keep mold at bay; some even come equipped with materials designed specifically to withstand fading to ensure long-term look-a-like cushions year after year!
Cleaning cushions regularly is also essential, and will depend on the fabric type you have. Some types can be machine washed while others require dry cleaning only – for the best results follow your cushion’s care instructions or seek professional assistance for additional support from manufacturers who provide fabric guards to provide extra protection – but don’t always offer this feature.
Implementing proactive measures to safeguard and extend the lifespan of your outdoor furniture will save money in the long run. Practice simple daily maintenance like brushing off dirt from cushions can extend their longevity while decreasing how often they need washing.
While you should try your best to avoid washing outdoor cushions, sometimes it becomes unavoidable. A sudden rain shower, for instance, makes it hard to bring cushions inside before the downpour hits. But with good-quality cushions specifically designed for outdoor use such as those from Member’s Mark Deltaville Sunbrella Deep Seating Collection cushions containing foam fillers designed for quick drying times like this collection from Member’s Mark, your foam will dry quickly enough so they’re good as new for another use after drying off quickly enough.
Your outdoor cushions can also be protected from staining by applying a waterproof spray before they’re exposed to the elements, such as rain or snowfall, with UV rays being harmful for their upholstery. By applying this protective coating all around the cushion’s underside as well as all sides it will help ensure it will stand up against wear-and-tear and damage from weather elements such as rain or snowfall as well as UV radiation damage.
Keep Your Sets Protected
Outdoor furniture and cushions are designed to withstand harsh elements, but they require care in order to function optimally. Cleaning is key. To start off, remove debris such as dirt, leaves, and pet messes from the surface of your cushions using either a soft brush, vacuum cleaner with an attachment, or warm water with liquid laundry detergent solution. If any stains exist then try natural bleach solutions such as white vinegar in water – be sure to test a small area first to make sure it won’t discolor it further!
Depending on the fabric type, most outdoor cushions can be washed in a washing machine; some may need to be washed by hand instead. Either way, following manufacturer care instructions for your fabric type will ensure optimal results.
Store your cushions properly when not in use to prevent moisture retention caused by morning dew, as well as sudden rainstorms which may cause mold or mildew growth. Whenever possible, bring the cushions indoors or to an enclosed storage space overnight to avoid this potential risk.
Some cushions feature features that make keeping them clean and dry easier, such as ties for keeping them from blowing away on windy days or reversible cushions with different patterns on each side to quickly change up their look.
Finally, be on the lookout for any signs of damage to your cushions such as holes, rips or tears. As soon as any such signs arise, act quickly to patch or replace the affected piece to prevent further tearing from occurring and potentially avoid costly repairs. In addition, take measures to deter rodents as their feeding habits could damage both fabrics of cushions as well as foam underneath.
Select the Right Cushions and Covers
No matter whether you’re replacing outdoor cushions or just wanting to refresh your patio furniture, several factors can have an effect on their lifespan and comfort levels. One important decision involves fabric type – polyester, foam and Dacron are popular choices that each has specific benefits that may enhance outdoor seating areas.
When selecting fabrics, it’s essential that they are both resilient and easy to care for. Polyester is often an economical, lightweight option with resistance against mold, mildew, fading and more natural looks than its synthetic counterparts like cotton canvas; alternatively an outdoor cushion filled with foam may provide greater resilience against water ingress.
Material aside, cushion thickness also has an influence on their performance over time. Thick cushions offer more support and comfort while being better at staying inflated and holding their shape than thinner alternatives.
Before making your selection, it is vitally important that you accurately measure the size of your old patio cushions so you can purchase replacements that fit seamlessly. Use a rigid tape measure instead of tailor’s tape for the most accurate measurements – measure width, depth (also called length), and height on each chair cushion and write these down for future reference when buying replacement cushions.
When purchasing cushion covers, it’s essential that they can be fully customized to fit the exact measurements of your patio furniture. This ensures a snug and secure fit against elements such as rain and direct sunlight; furthermore, avoid covers without zippers for easier installation/removal and choose colors that complement your backyard decor.
