    Thanks for sharing some tips on how to maintain the outdoor furniture and make them last longer. I bought my outdoor furniture from here and their cushions came with Sunbrella fabric so that’s one less thing I need to worry about since the fabric is highly fade, water, and mildew resistant and could safely be cleaned with bleach so stains won’t really be much of a problem. I don’t bring the cushions indoors but I bought the matching weather covers to protect them from outdoor weather elements at night. I’ll try some of the other tips to make my outdoor furniture last longer, thanks!
