Outdoor cushions can develop an unsightly orange peel texture over time due to exposure to weather, dirt, and wear. Fortunately, there are several effective ways to restore their smooth surface.
First, start by brushing off loose debris with a soft-bristle brush. Then, mix a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Gently scrub the cushions using a sponge or soft brush, focusing on textured areas. For stubborn texture, a mixture of vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) can help break down buildup. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and let the cushions air dry completely.
For deeper cleaning, consider using a pressure washer on a low setting, but keep a safe distance to avoid damaging the fabric. If the texture persists, applying a fabric conditioner or specialized outdoor cushion cleaner may help soften the material.
Prevent future texture issues by storing cushions in a dry place when not in use and cleaning them regularly. With these steps, your outdoor cushions will look fresh and smooth again.
