This will prevent any stains from setting in, and also help to keep the material looking fresh and new. The spray also maintains breathability while inhibiting mold and mildew growth. It doesn’t affect the natural feel of the fabric.Most waterproof spray products have their own particular instructions for use, but you can be assured that all of them want you to spray your outdoor fabric until it is damp. You don’t want to saturate the cushions, but an even damp layer is important to achieve success. Make sure your cushions are set to dry in a covered area. Ideally you have a warmer spot to keep them in, such as a craft room or garage- waterproof sprays set best in warm, dry climates. 6.
