How to remove algae buildup from polyester fabric outdoor bar stools?

Algae buildup on polyester fabric outdoor bar stools can be unsightly and difficult to remove. Here’s a step-by-step guide to effectively clean and prevent algae growth:

1. Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Alternatively, use a mild detergent with warm water.

2. Scrub Gently: Spray the solution onto the affected areas and use a soft-bristle brush to scrub the algae away. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent fabric damage.

3. Rinse Thoroughly: Use a hose or damp cloth to rinse off the cleaning solution. Ensure no residue remains.

4. Dry Completely: Allow the fabric to air-dry in sunlight, as UV rays help kill remaining algae spores.

5. Prevent Future Growth: Apply a fabric protectant spray and store stools in a dry place when not in use.

Regular maintenance will keep your outdoor bar stools looking fresh and algae-free.
