One of the best ways to keep Sunbrella® fabrics looking good and to delay the need for deep or vigorous cleanings is to hose fabrics off on a monthly basis with clear water.

This practice will help prevent dirt from becoming deeply embedded in the fabric and eliminate the need for more frequent vigorous cleanings.

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

When it's time for a thorough cleaning, Sunbrella® fabrics can be cleaned while still on an awning frame or a boat, or, size permitting, they can be removed for cleaning in a washing machine.

When Sunbrella® fabric is stored, it should be cleaned, allowed to air dry, and stored in a dry, well ventilated area.

  DO NOT SUBJECT TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. 

When cleaning Sunbrella® fabrics, it is important to observe the following:

• Always use a natural soap. Never detergent.

• Water should be cold to lukewarm. Never more than 100 degrees.

• Air dry only. Never apply heat to Sunbrella® fabrics.
•   Sunbrella® is made from 100% solution dyed acrylic fiber which is thermoplastic.
