Outdoor sofa cushions can sometimes develop an unpleasant "hospital smell" due to moisture, mildew, or trapped odors. Here’s how to keep them fresh and odor-free:

1. Regular Cleaning: Wash cushions with mild soap and water every few weeks. Use a brush to scrub away dirt and let them dry completely in the sun.

2. Proper Storage: Store cushions in a dry, ventilated area when not in use. Avoid leaving them outside during rainy or humid weather.

3. Use Vinegar Solution: Spray a mix of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) to neutralize odors and kill mildew spores. Let it air dry.

4. Baking Soda Trick: Sprinkle baking soda on cushions, let it sit for a few hours, then vacuum it up to absorb lingering smells.

5. Invest in Breathable Covers: Use breathable, waterproof covers to protect cushions from moisture while allowing airflow.

By following these simple steps, you can enjoy fresh, clean outdoor cushions all season long!
