Mold and mildew are fungi, and the stains we associate with them, typically pink, yellow, purple, or black, are by products of their digestive process. The compounds they produce can diffuse into a textile and discolor it in a way that can’t be removed simply by washing it. Fungal spores will grow in any warm, moist location where they can find a food source. Keeping a fabric clean and removing any mold or mildew with diluted household bleach (only for bleach cleanable fabrics and only in the recommended ratio) will reduce the number of spores and food sources available to cause problems. Choosing designs that allow water to run off of a surface or escape from inside of a cushion will also help prevent mold and mildew from growing.
