Outdoor sofa cushions can develop an unpleasant skunky smell due to moisture, mildew, or improper storage. Here’s how to keep them fresh and odor-free:
1. Regular Cleaning – Wash cushions with mild soap and water every few weeks. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage fabric.
2. Proper Drying – Always let cushions dry completely in sunlight after rain or cleaning to prevent mildew growth.
3. Use Breathable Covers – Opt for UV-resistant, breathable covers to protect cushions while allowing airflow.
4. Store Smartly – Keep cushions in a dry, ventilated area when not in use. Avoid sealing them in plastic, which traps moisture.
5. Baking Soda Trick – Sprinkle baking soda on cushions, let sit for an hour, then vacuum to neutralize odors.
By following these steps, you can enjoy fresh, long-lasting outdoor cushions all season!
