There are many types of fabric for outdoor furniture that can be added to make it comfortable and add personal flair. Cushions and pillows come in a variety of solids, stripes, textures, patterns and plaids to suit any taste and give your furniture the right finishing touch. Even though outdoor fabric is designed to be used outdoors, it should be kept out of heavy rain. If cushions do get wet, they can be stood upright to let excess water drain out. General cleaning includes wiping the material with a 2:1 ratio solution of bleach and water. The cushions collect dust, dirt and pollen, which should be shaken out regularly. Cushion covers can be machine washed and hung out to dry, but using a dryer can melt them.
