If mildew is growing it is because there is too much water suspended in the air and you have furnishings that lend themselves to mold growth. Outdoor furniture is more mold resistant.

Mold grows due to lack of direct sunlight, a warm damp place and can be cured by cleaning the mildew with some kind of bleachy substance and closing up the porch and running the air conditioner that removes humidity from the air or opening it up totally and only having out door mildew resistant furniture. Indoor furniture will soon be ruined..Running the air with the windows open is counter productive. You can't dehumidify the whole outdoors.
