How should you clean sunbrella fabrics?

Sunbrella Fabric

Cleaning Removable Fabric

Hand Washing

Soak the fabric in a solution of 60 ml mild soap per 3.8 liters of lukewarm water. Use a sponge or very soft brush to gently agitate the stain. Then rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue and allow the fabric to air dry.

Washing Machine

Some removable covers are machine washable. However, consult the furniture manufacturer before removing covers, as cushion construction may vary. Close all zippers before washing. Wash in cold water on the gentle cycle with a standard amount of mild detergent. For stubborn mildew, add 235 ml bleach. Allow the fabric to air dry completely.

Cleaning Non-Removable Fabric

Prepare a solution of 60 ml mild soap per 3.8 liters of lukewarm water. Use a soft brush to clean and let the cleaning solution soak into the fabric. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue and allow the fabric to air dry.

Mildew Stains

Mildew does not easily grow on Sunbrella fabrics, but it can grow on dirt and other foreign substances not removed from the fabric. To remove mildew:

Prepare a solution of 240 ml bleach and 60 ml mild soap per 3.8 liters of water.
Spray over the entire surface and let soak into the fabric for up to 15 minutes.
Clean the entire surface with a sponge, clean towel, or very soft brush.
Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
Allow to air dry.

For stubborn mildew, more bleach may be used.

It is recommended to clean the entire fabric surface to prevent water spots.
