Outdoor Furniture Foam

Does anybody know of any product that can be used to prevent mold and mildew from forming on outdoor furniture
cushions? The cushion covers are of a removeable heavy weight cotton fabric over a foam type material covered in batting. The furniture is kept in a covered, screened in area which does get damp when it rains. I have removed the covers and have washed them with detergent and bleach but after a couple of weeks the mold and mildew return. I was wondering if there was a product out there that can be sprayed on like a scotch-guard type product which will prevent and/or protect the cushions from the mold and mildew?
I spray all of my outdoor cushions with DampRid Mold & Mildew Remover and Preventative. It not only kills the mold spores, but it puts down a resistant protective barrier which keeps it from growing again. I also hit both sides with scotchguard after I spray the DampRid just so that if people spill something on them it will bead up and not stain. My cushions are exposed to the weather from Memorial Day to Labor day rain or shine. I haven’t had any problems with mold or mildew since I started using these two products. I get them in the cleaning aisle at Lowes and both are under $5
