Outdoor furniture cushions are prone to grease stains from food spills, sunscreen, or oily hands. Fortunately, removing grease doesn’t require harsh chemicals—just a few household items and simple steps.

1. Blot the Stain Immediately: Use a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb excess grease before it sets. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.

2. Apply Dish Soap Solution: Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Gently scrub the stain with a soft brush or sponge, then rinse with cold water.

3. Use Baking Soda for Tough Stains: Sprinkle baking soda on the stain, let it sit for 15 minutes, then brush it off. This helps absorb lingering grease.

4. Vinegar Spray for Odors: Combine equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. Lightly mist the area to neutralize odors after cleaning.

5. Air Dry Thoroughly: Let the cushion dry completely in sunlight to prevent mold. Avoid using a dryer, as heat can damage fabric.

For stubborn stains, repeat the process or try a specialized upholstery cleaner. Regular maintenance keeps your cushions looking new!
