Outdoor sofa soutache adds elegance to your patio, but it’s prone to mildew due to moisture exposure. To keep it mold-free, follow these proven methods:

1. Regular Cleaning – Wipe the soutache with a mild soap solution and a soft brush to remove dirt and spores. Rinse thoroughly and let it dry completely.

2. Proper Drying – After rain or cleaning, ensure the soutache dries quickly. Use a fan or place the sofa in sunlight to prevent dampness.

3. Apply Vinegar Solution – Spray a mix of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) to kill mildew spores naturally. Reapply monthly for prevention.

4. Use Mildew-Resistant Spray – Treat the soutache with a commercial anti-mildew spray for long-lasting protection.

5. Store or Cover When Not in Use – During humid seasons, cover the sofa with a breathable fabric or store it indoors to minimize moisture buildup.

By following these steps, your outdoor sofa soutache will stay fresh and mildew-free for years.
