If you live on Cape Cod, you know your outdoor cushions take a beating. Between salty ocean air, humid summer nights, and sandy feet fresh from the beach, it doesn’t take long before your once-beautiful patio cushions start looking faded, stained, or even moldy.

At Alec’s Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning LLC, we specialize in professional outdoor cushion cleaning for homeowners across Cape Cod — from Sandwich to Chatham and beyond. Here’s what every Cape Cod homeowner should know about protecting and restoring their cushions.

Why Outdoor Cushions Need Extra Care on Cape Cod

The Cape’s coastal climate is beautiful but tough on fabrics:

• Salt Air: Salt particles in the air settle on cushions, attracting moisture and leaving fabrics feeling stiff or gritty.

• Humidity: Warm, damp air creates the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew.

• Sun Exposure: Cape Cod summers are sunny — and UV rays fade fabrics quickly if not protected.

Over time, these factors can weaken fabrics, discolor patterns, and create stubborn stains that regular cleaning simply can’t remove.

Common Problems We See on Cape Cod Outdoor Cushions

After more than 55 years of cleaning and protecting fabrics, we’ve seen it all. The most common outdoor cushion issues on Cape Cod include:

1. Mold & Mildew – Black or green spots caused by moisture trapped inside the fabric.

2. Sunscreen & Food Stains – Oils and pigments that set into fibers.

3. Sand & Grit – Fine particles that scratch and weaken fabric threads.

4. Fading – From long days in the sun without fabric protection.

Why Professional Outdoor Cushion Cleaning Is Worth It

While some people try DIY cleaning, store-bought cleaners often don’t fully remove salt, mildew, or oils — and can even damage delicate outdoor fabrics.

Our Cape Cod outdoor cushion cleaning service:

• Deep cleans inside and out to remove salt, sand, mold, and stains.

• Protects fabrics with professional-grade fabric treatments to resist future stains and fading.

• Restores vibrant colors and texture so cushions look like new again.

All cleaning is done at our plant in Abington, MA, where cushions are handled by trained technicians using the safest, most effective methods available.

Seasonal Storage Tips for Cape Cod Cushions

Protect your freshly cleaned cushions with these storage tips:

• Store dry – Make sure cushions are 100% dry before putting them away.

• Avoid plastic bags – They trap moisture and promote mildew.

• Use breathable storage bins or fabric bags – Keeps dust out while letting air circulate.

• Reapply fabric protection before storage or at the start of the season.
