Outdoor cushions often develop a stomp texture over time due to dirt, moisture, or prolonged use. Fortunately, removing this unwanted texture is easier than you might think. Here’s a step-by-step guide to restore your cushions to their original condition.

1. Brush Off Loose Debris: Start by gently brushing the cushion surface with a soft-bristle brush to remove loose dirt and particles. This prevents further grinding of debris into the fabric.

2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Mix mild detergent with warm water. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the fabric. For stubborn stains, a vinegar-water solution (1:1 ratio) can be effective.

3. Scrub Gently: Dip a soft sponge or cloth into the cleaning solution and scrub the stomp texture in circular motions. Focus on heavily textured areas but avoid oversaturating the fabric.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: Use a damp cloth to wipe away soap residue. If possible, rinse the cushions with a garden hose on a gentle setting, ensuring all cleaning agents are removed.

5. Air Dry Completely: Let the cushions dry in direct sunlight. Flip them occasionally to ensure even drying and prevent mildew.

For persistent texture, consider using a fabric conditioner or a specialized outdoor fabric cleaner. Regular maintenance, such as storing cushions in dry areas, can prevent stomp texture from recurring.

By following these steps, your outdoor cushions will look fresh and inviting again!
