The usual scene is cushions left on an Australian deck through a wet week, or stored in a shut outdoor box.
Covers versus foam
Washable covers can often be saved. Wet foam often has to go.
The method
Dry first, then treat. Spot-test outdoor fabrics. Sun helps them dry. It does not replace treating the fabric. The general fabric method is on how to get rid of mould on fabric. An indoor couch is a different page.

Storage after the clean
Store them off the wet deck, in a dry box that can breathe. If they live in a garage or a van, use those guides. Wicker or rattan furniture has its own page.
