Spills are inevitable when enjoying drinks outdoors, but stains don’t have to be. To keep your outdoor sofa looking fresh, follow these expert tips. First, choose stain-resistant fabrics like polyester or solution-dyed acrylic, which repel liquids and are easy to clean. Applying a fabric protector spray adds an extra layer of defense. For immediate spills, blot—don’t rub—the liquid with a clean cloth to prevent it from setting. Keep a mixture of mild soap and water handy for quick cleanups. For stubborn stains, a baking soda paste or vinegar solution can work wonders. Regularly vacuuming and brushing off debris also helps maintain the fabric’s integrity. With these simple steps, your outdoor sofa will stay stain-free and stylish all season long.
