Patio Cushions

We are often asked if our cushions are waterproof, unfortunately, they are not. The fabrics placed on the cushions are water resistant, but not fully water proof. If your cushions do get wet, turn them on their sides as the water will tend to run out quicker and may result in faster drying times. Because our cushions are designed for outdoor use, they do dry quickly. Never place the cushion sponge in a dryer.

Our fabrics, if kept clean and dry, will not mildew. Clean, dry acrylic fiber will not support the growth of mildew as a natural fiber will. Mildew will and can grow on any surface that is dirty and damp, so to keep your fabrics from mildewing, you must keep your fabrics clean. If mildew growth becomes a problem, please refer to our care and cleaning instructions. and see our earlier post.

With a little care, your cushions can last a long time.

** If you would like to add an extra layer of protection to your outdoor fabrics we recommend using 303 Products Fabric Guard
