How do I clean outdoor hammock cushions?

Question

They are off-white, so I dont mind using bleach, I just dont want them to fall apart if I bleach them. They are getting those mildew-y grey spots on them and look really dirty. The morning dew must be getting to them and making them wet. When they dont dry out right away, I think they are geting moldy-YUCK! I gotta get it out. What do I use?

Answer 1

Try some WD-40. it can`t hurt. I know alot of ppl use this to winterize their outdoor funiture. WD-40 will protect them and clean them up...Spray it on and let set a few min. in one spot and see how it removes the spots....I love WD-40 for cleaning
I would not use bleach, it will break the fibers down and they will dry out

Answer 2

Take them to the laundromat, wash them on gentle cycle in warmest water recommended with baking soda, bleach, regular laundry soap, and white vinegar. As you fill the washer, put the cushions in, leave the top open to allow them to soak for 15-20 minutes. Then allow the washer to complete the whole cycle.

Answer 3

Baking soda and a scrub brush usually works well. Bleach is your best option for the mold, dilute it with a good amount of water (we're talking 75% water, 25% bleach) and the chance of it dissentigrating the fabric is much less.

Answer 4

Any dish or car washing soap would work to clean them.

A mild bleach solution will kill the mold.

I like to use a bucket with the soap solutions and wipe them down, then use a hose with a powerful sprayer attachment to hose down the surface.

Answer 5

Put them in the wash if yours is not large enough take it to a commercial washer and was it on gentle cycle and let them air dry.

Answer 6

the best thing to do is to throw them out and buy new ones
