Sunbrella Fabrics

Cleaning this stain, soil resistant and fade proof fabric is easy!

Sunbrella® brand fabrics should be cleaned regularly before substances such as dirt and food particles are allowed to accumulate on and become embedded in the fabric. The fabric can be cleaned without being removed from the piece by simply brushing off any loose dirt, etc. and cleaning with water and a mild soap solution (no more than 100 degrees F).

If the fabric can be removed from furniture, it may be cleaned in a mild soap and lukewarm water solution (less than 100 degrees F) in a washing machine and dried in an environment also less than 100 degrees F. When washing or cleaning, do not subject to excessive heat as the fabric will shrink. Do not steam press or dry in electric or gas dryers. Allow fabric to air dry.

Cleaning Solutions

The recommended cleaning solution for most stains consists of 0.5 ounce of antibacterial dishwashing liquid to 22.5 ounces of water. For stubborn stains, please consult the Stain Chart on the Sunbrella website.

Cleaning Method

1. Remove any residual soil by lightly brushing or scraping the stain. Attempt to remove stain by sponging with water.
2. If further cleaning is needed, apply light mist of our recommended cleaning solution using a spray bottle.
3. Work the solution into the stain by lightly scrubbing the area with a sponge or very soft bristle brush.
4. Remove cleaning solution with a wet-vac if possible, but at the very least blot with a clean soft towel or sponge to remove the stain and excess cleaning solution. Repeat steps 2-4 until stain is removed.
5. Rinse the affected area thoroughly with clean water (applied with a spray bottle) and extract the remaining moisture using a wet-vac, sponge, or towel. Repeat rinsing method if needed to thoroughly remove cleaning solution from the fabric.

Helpful Hints

• Vacuum the fabric prior to cleaning.
• Minimize spread of the stain to the surrounding clean fibers.
• Do not be alarmed if stain is not removed after first application and removal of cleaning solution.
• Do not use a stiff brush that may abrade fabric.
• Rinse thoroughly.
