Mold is a type of fungus.
Mold is a type of fungus that tends to grow in areas that are excessively damp such as waterlogged patio cushions. Mold can give your cushions a musty smell and will cover them in black or green stains. Over time mold can actually deteriorate your patio cushions. Avoid this by cleaning mold as soon as you notice it. There are several ways to prevent mold from growing on the patio chair cushions. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Remove the patio cushions whenever there is rain or other types of precipitation. Moist conditions hasten mold's growth, so almost any substance that is wet is susceptible to mold.
2. Dry cushions thoroughly whenever they become wet. Dry the cushions thoroughly in your dryer. If your cushions cannot be dried in the clothes dryer, dry them with your hair dryer.
3. Spray fabric waterproof spray onto the fabric when it is dry, and let it dry completely. You can purchase fabric waterproofers at camping or outdoor supply stores. Waterproofing sprays leave a residue on outdoor fabrics that causes water to bead on the surface of the material rather than soaking into it.
