Carrot cake stains on outdoor furniture cushions can be a stubborn nuisance, but with the right approach, they can be effectively removed. Start by gently scraping off any excess cake with a dull knife or spoon. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fabric.

Next, mix a solution of mild dish soap and warm water. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the mixture and dab the stain, working from the outside inward to prevent spreading. For tougher stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and left for 15 minutes before rinsing.

If the stain persists, try using a specialized upholstery cleaner or a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio). Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t damage the fabric. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and let the cushion air dry completely before use.

For long-term care, consider treating your cushions with a fabric protector to make future stains easier to remove. Regular maintenance will keep your outdoor furniture looking fresh and stain-free.
