One of the best ways to keep
Sunbrella fabrics looking good and to delay deep or vigorous cleanings
is to properly maintain the fabrics. This can be accomplished by simply
brushing off dirt before it becomes embedded in the fabrics, wiping up
spills as soon as they occur or spot cleaning soon after stains occur.
General or light cleaning
Brush off any loose dirt.
Prepare a cleaning solution of 2 ounces (1/4 cup) mild detergent,
such as Woolite or Dawn dishwashing liquid, per gallon of lukewarm
water.
Use a sponge or a soft bristle brush to clean.
Allow cleaning solution to soak into fabric.
Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
Allow fabric to air dry.
Spot cleaning
Apply a light mist of mild detergent and water using a spray bottle.
Work the solution into the stain by lightly scrubbing the area with a sponge or very soft bristle brush.
Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
Blot excess moisture with a clean, soft towel or sponge.
Wet-vacuum or blot excess water.
Air dry, Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all detergent residue is removed.
Sunbrella
fabric does not promote mildew growth, however, mildew may grow on dirt
and other foreign substances that are not removed from the fabric.
To clean mildew, or other stubborn stains:
Prepare a solution of 8 ounces (1 cup) of bleach and 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of mild detergent per gallon of clean water.
Spray on entire area and allow to soak into the fabric for 15 minutes.
Remove stain with a sponge, clean towel or very soft bristle brush.
Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
Allow fabric to air dry.
303 High Tech Fabric Guard should be applied to Sunbrella fabrics
after each thorough cleaning, which typically removes the original
finish and reduces the fabric's water repellency.
Applying 303 High Tech Fabric Guard
Clean Sunbrella fabric, using one of the cleaning methods.
Allow Sunbrella to completely air dry.
Apply 303 Fabric Guard in a well-ventilated area following instructions on the container.
Apply 303 in a thin, even coat and allow fabric to dry completely.
Apply a second thin, even coating of 303
