    I would try oxi-clean or simple green. Whatever you use, make sure they can dry thoroughly (preferably in sun)before storing .

  • I would scrub them with a good fabric cleaner and put them in the sun to dry.

    Do you live near a "Dollar Tree"

    They sell a product called "Awesome" (LA's Totally Awesome - Orginal)

    Spray it on - Rub it with a Brush, Sponge, Wet Rag...

    Rinse off with hose, or bucket of water.

    This stuff is AWESOME. Cleans anything / everything - AND ITS JUST A BUCK $ : )


    Use it for outdoor furniture for clients all the time.


    If you do not live near Dollar Tree...

    Try Dawn dish soap, water and a scrub brush

    Scrub them with a bleach solution and let dry thoroughly prior to storage.


    To clean fabric cushions, dilute a 1⁄2 cup of bleach into 1 gallon of water. Use a spray bottle to apply the mixture, then clean the mildew off of the cushion with a scrub brush.

    are they washable, if so i would use bleach and water. you might be able to get a protectorant to spray on them once you clean them.
