Outdoor sofa cushions are prone to developing musty or mildew odors due to exposure to moisture and humidity. To keep them smelling fresh, follow these practical tips:

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: When not in use, store cushions in a dry, ventilated area or use waterproof covers to protect them from rain and dew.

3. Use Vinegar Solution: Spray a mix of equal parts white vinegar and water to neutralize odors and inhibit mold growth. Rinse and dry thoroughly afterward.

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

5. Ensure Good Airflow: Avoid stacking cushions when wet. Prop them upright or space them out to allow air circulation and faster drying.

By adopting these simple practices, you can extend the life of your outdoor cushions and keep them odor-free all season long.
