One of the best things about summer is relaxing in your outdoor furniture.

This outdoor furniture, in order to be as comfortable as possible comes with fabric cushions. Unlike in the recent past, fabric technology has progressed avoiding the expensive business of regularly purchasing replacement cushions. The end result is fabric that is a lot more durable and resilient than you would expect. Unfortunately even with that increase in durability they are still not entirely resistant to effects of rain and the sun.

Most modern outdoor cushion fabric are mildew and moisture resistant. What that means is when exposed to rain the water will just roll off. Unfortunately that levels of protection will not last if exposed to multiple downpours. Successive heavy rains can cause wear and ultimately expose the inner layers of the fabric to moisture. Avoid this by either dusting the water immediately after rain or keeping the cushions covered.

Outdoor cushions are also fade resistant, what used to be one of the biggest issues with prolonged sun exposure. Regardless to reduce damage from days of direct hot sun, just like in rainy weather, if faced with lots of sun, it is best to keep the cushions covered.

In addition clean the cushions regularly. Look for bird dropping, pollen etc and make sure to clean up any stains as quickly as possible. These few tips alone will extend the lifetime of your cushions. Even if it’s too late for your current set, you can look after the next set you buy from a lloyd flanders replacement cushions sale.
