How Do You Protect Outdoor Furniture From Mold and Mildew?

Mold and mildew can quickly ruin outdoor furniture if it is not properly protected. The good news is that there are a few simple steps you can take to keep your outdoor furniture looking new.

The first step towards preventing mold and mildew from forming on your outdoor furniture is to keep it out of direct sunlight and rain. You should place your furniture in a shaded area or in an area that has a roof over it to protect it from the sun.

If you have no choice but to place your furniture in direct sunlight, be sure to cover it using a tarp or other waterproof material when not in use.

Next, you should clean your outdoor furniture regularly with warm soapy water. This will help remove dirt and debris that can provide a breeding ground for mold and mildew. After cleaning the furniture, make sure to thoroughly dry it off with a towel to prevent water from pooling which could lead to growth of mold and mildew.

You should also consider treating your outdoor furniture with an anti-mold spray or sealant. These products will create an invisible barrier between the surface of the furniture and any moisture that may come in contact with it, helping to prevent mold and mildew growth.

Conclusion:
Protecting outdoor furniture from mold and mildew requires regular cleaning, keeping the furniture out of direct sunlight and rain, as well as applying an anti-mold spray or sealant. Following these steps will help keep your outdoor furniture looking great for years to come!
