How to Remove Black Mildew Stains From Fabric Lawn Furniture

Lawn furniture deals with an onset of moisture, excessive heat, rain and any other damaging elements that Mother Nature can throw at it. This will quickly cause the fabric of the lawn furniture to develop mildew. Unlike mold, black mildew will not deteriorate the fabric but it will leave unsightly and possible permanent stains on the fabric lawn furniture. Fortunately, you can remove the black mildew stains using inexpensive products found in many households.
