What are the best methods to prevent mold in the crevices of canvas benches?
Mold growth in the crevices of canvas benches can be a common issue, especially in humid climates. To prevent mold, start by regularly cleaning your benches with a mixture of mild soap and water. Scrub the crevices gently with a soft brush to remove dirt and moisture. Allow the benches to dry completely in the sun, as sunlight helps kill mold spores. Applying a waterproofing spray designed for outdoor fabrics can also create a protective barrier. For stubborn mold, use a solution of white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the area. Store benches in a dry, well-ventilated space when not in use to minimize moisture buildup. Following these steps will help keep your canvas benches mold-free and extend their lifespan.
