Pollen season can be tough on outdoor furniture cushions, leaving them covered in yellow dust and allergens. To keep your cushions clean and in good condition, follow these steps for proper storage:
1. Clean Thoroughly Before Storing – Wash cushions with mild soap and water, ensuring all pollen and dirt are removed. Let them dry completely to prevent mold.
2. Use Breathable Storage Bags – Avoid plastic bags, as they trap moisture. Opt for fabric or mesh storage bags that allow airflow while keeping pollen out.
3. Store in a Dry, Cool Place – Keep cushions in a garage, shed, or covered patio to protect them from humidity and direct sunlight.
4. Elevate Off the Ground – Place cushions on shelves or racks to prevent moisture absorption from floors.
5. Check Periodically – Inspect stored cushions every few weeks for pests or moisture buildup.
By following these tips, you can extend the life of your outdoor cushions and keep them fresh for the next season!
