How to Remove Mold & Mildew from Outdoor Sling Chairs

Some people like to use bleach or other harsh chemicals to clean mold and mildew off their outdoor sling chairs, but this isn’t always a good idea. Before you begin cleaning your outdoor sling fabric, you may want to consider the type of thread in the stitching. If it isn’t a Lifetime Thread, using bleach could seriously weaken the stitching or cause degradation to the stitching (or even the fabric itself in some cases), potentially taking away a year of its life. Seeing as most people can’t be sure what type of thread was used to make their sling chairs, it’s a much better idea to use a fabric- and thread-safe cleaner. We’ll explain our choice below.
