Tricks to Keeping Outdoor Cushions Fresh

Warmer weather is here, which means we’ll be spending more time outside, enjoying sunny afternoons and clear nights in our yards. Whether you’re relaxing on your outdoor swing or lounging poolside, make sure you keep your outdoor cushions fresh for the season! Here’s how:


Buy the right cushions. Buying the right outdoor cushions off the bat can save you money down the road. Durable fabrics like sunbrella and other acrylic fibers are durable for yard use, which is key to making your cushions looking fresh for seasons to come.

Do a 180 rotation. Want to fully extend the life of your cushions? Make it a habit to flip them once a week to prevent wear and tear. Because both sides of the fabric will be exposed to sunlight, the color will fade more consistently. Also, be wary of placing them close to fire pits as one spark can leave even a single hole, damaging the material.

Store them when not in use. Protect your cushions from tree sap, excessive sun, and rips if you know you won’t be using them for a while. Don’t wrap them in plastic! This will encourage mold to grow. To keep these cushions looking as fresh as possible, give us a call for storage!
