Outdoor cushions can develop a rough, hawk-like texture over time due to exposure to dirt, moisture, and UV rays. Fortunately, removing this texture is possible with the right approach. Here’s how:

1. Brush Off Debris: Use a stiff-bristle brush to remove loose dirt and particles from the cushion surface. This prepares the fabric for deeper cleaning.

2. Apply a Cleaning Solution: Mix mild detergent with warm water or use a specialized outdoor fabric cleaner. Gently scrub the cushion with a soft sponge or cloth to lift embedded grime.

3. Rinse Thoroughly: Hose down the cushions to rinse away soap residue. Avoid high-pressure water, as it can damage the fabric fibers.

4. Dry Completely: Let the cushions air-dry in the sun or use a fan to speed up the process. Ensure they’re fully dry to prevent mold or mildew.

5. Use a Fabric Softener (Optional): For stubborn texture, lightly spray a fabric softener diluted with water and brush gently to restore smoothness.

Regular maintenance, such as storing cushions when not in use and covering them during harsh weather, can prevent hawk texture from recurring. Follow these steps to keep your outdoor cushions looking fresh and comfortable.
