Outdoor sofa cushions are prone to developing unpleasant odors, especially when exposed to moisture and humidity. To keep them fresh and free from a musty or irradiated smell, follow these practical tips:

1. Regular Cleaning: Wash cushions with mild soap and water every few weeks to remove dirt and prevent mold growth. Allow them to dry completely in the sun.

2. Proper Storage: Store cushions in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use. Use breathable storage bags to avoid trapping moisture.

3. Use Protective Covers: Invest in waterproof or UV-resistant covers to shield cushions from rain and sun damage.

4. Vinegar Solution: Spray a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) to neutralize odors and inhibit mildew.

5. Baking Soda Trick: Sprinkle baking soda on cushions, let it sit for an hour, then vacuum to absorb lingering smells.

By following these steps, you can extend the life of your outdoor cushions and keep them smelling fresh all season long.
