Sitting on a dirty lawn chair is unpleasant, and unsightly mold or mildew on outdoor cushions is even worse. Keeping patio furniture clean is simple with a safe, effective product like Scotts Outdoor Cleaner Plus OxiClean. In many urban areas, airborne pollen, dust, and other particulates settle on outdoor seating during spring and throughout the year, and nightly dew can leave cushions damp—ideal conditions for mold and mildew to develop.
We were cautious about using cleaners because many household products contain harsh chemicals. Scotts Outdoor Cleaner, however, is formulated to be gentle on fabrics and safe to use around lawns and plants, making it a practical choice for gardens and patios.
To use, simply spray the solution evenly over the area you want to clean and allow it to sit for a few minutes. The foaming action lifts dirt, mold, and mildew from fabric and hard surfaces, making stains easier to remove.
For stubborn spots, lightly scrub the affected area and then rinse with water or wipe with a clean cloth. Finishing this way restores the fabric’s appearance without damaging it.
Scotts Outdoor Cleaner Plus OxiClean is versatile and can be used on many outdoor surfaces, including concrete and brick, wood and composite wood, vinyl, outdoor furniture fabrics, roofing shingles, fiberglass, painted metals, and more. Its broad compatibility makes it a convenient tool for seasonal cleaning and maintenance.
The product is available in several formats to suit different needs: a ready-to-use sprayer, a garden sprayer with a hose attachment for larger areas, and gallon-sized containers for frequent use. Choose the option that best fits the size and frequency of your cleaning tasks.
Regular cleaning of outdoor furniture helps prevent long-term staining and deterioration. By removing pollen, dirt, and mold promptly, you extend the life of cushions and furniture while keeping your outdoor spaces inviting and comfortable.
