Cleaning Sunbrella Fabric

Does Sunbrella fabric dry quickly?

Because Sunbrella fabrics are woven, they are also highly breathable, which is why they dry quickly with only air exposure. It's also important to know that Sunbrella fabrics are treated with a flurocarbon finish, which enhances water repellency. This finish requires replenishment after vigorous cleaning.

How often should Sunbrella fabric be cleaned thoroughly?

In most environments, a thorough cleaning will be needed every two to three years.

What is "Mild" or "Natural" soap?

By "Natural Soap" we mean Ivory Snow, Dreft or Woolite. These gentle soaps rinse out easily and will not weaken the water-repellent "finish" applied to the fabric. Regular laundry detergent will not harm the fabric, but the water-repellent "finish" will be removed sooner (laundry detergent does not affect the stain and UV resistance).

BE SURE to use cold water and to air dry the fabric when using laundry detergent. In addition, after several cleanings you will need to retreat the fabric with a water repellent product, such as 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™.
