Outdoor Cushions

- 1 quart warm water

Combine the above ingredients in a bucket and use a sponge to apply the mixture to the cushions- making sure to pay extra attention to the crevices of the cushion. Once the entire cushion has been treated, let sit for 10-15 minutes and then wash the solution off using a hose. In an area out of direct sunlight, stand cushions on their side and let dry.
