Outdoor sofa - will cushions stain?

[Hairybaker]

Have one coming in a few weeks but starting to get paranoid. It has removable cushions but I think you can leave them out unless weather is awful? But will things like bird poo or sun lotion stain the cushions?! Should have stuck with our cheapy old set of so as I’ll be paranoid!

I would bring them in after each use, or get a big waterproof cover to stick over.

I've got a large timber box which stands near the outdoor furniture. The cushions go in there when not in use. I'd recommend something like this, otherwise your cushions get a bit grotty with the elements, bird poo etc.

We have a cover for ours, they get bird poo and general dust etc on them otherwise and you have to wait for them to dry out after rain.

But will things like bird poo or sun lotion stain the cushions?!

Even if these things don't stain they will make the cushions dirty - put them away!
