Some of the most frequently asked
questions about Sunbrella fabrics concern care and
cleaning. The good news is that Sunbrella
is designed
to be easy to maintain. By following a few simple care
and cleaning steps, the fabric will maintain its good
looks for many years.
Important
Background
Sunbrella fabrics are made
from 100 percent solution-dyed acrylic yarns.
Solution-dying is the process of adding color to acrylic
fibers during manufacturing while they are in a liquid
state. This characteristic of Sunbrella fabrics is the key
to locking in color, easy cleaning and long life.
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 fluorocarbon finish, which enhances water
repellency. This finish requires replenishment after
vigorous cleaning.
Sunbrella
fabrics will
not support the growth of mildew, but dirt on the fabric
can lead to mildew growth, which makes regular cleanings
important. No set timetable exists for when fabric
should be cleaned, and the local environment has a great
deal to do with determining cleaning frequency. Cleaning
is required less frequently in a dry environment than in
a humid one with heavy foliage.
With
proper care and cleaning, you can expect excellent
service from Sunbrella fabrics.
Cleaning
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 imbedded 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 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.
If stubborn stains
persist, you can use a diluted chlorine bleach/soap
mixture for spot cleaning of mildew, roof run-off and
other similar stains.
Prepare a special cleaning mixture:
Four ounces (half cup)
of chlorine bleach.
Two ounces (one-fourth
cup) of natural soap.
One gallon of water.
Clean with soft bristle
brush.
Allow mixture to soak
for up to 20 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly.
Air dry.
Repeat if necessary.
Re-treating the Fabric
As part of the finishing
process, Sunbrella fabrics are treated
with a fluorocarbon finish, which enhances water
repellency. This finish is designed to last for several
years, but must be replenished after a thorough
cleaning. Based on test results, Glen Raven recommends
303 High Tech Fabric Guard as the preferred
re-treatment product for Sunbrella fabrics. Fabrics
should be retreated after thorough cleaning or after
five years of use. Check with your local Sunbrella
dealer or
distributor for more information.
Sunbrella Care and Cleaning
Instructions
Applying
303 High Tech Fabric Guard
303 should be applied to
Sunbrella
fabrics after
each thorough cleaning, which typically removes the
original fluorocarbon finish and reduces the fabric's
water resistance. After cleaning the fabric, allow it to
air dry completely and then apply 303 in a thin, even
coat. After allowing the first coat of 303 to air dry,
apply a second thin, even coating of 303. Two light
coatings are more effective in restoring fabric water
resistance than a single heavy coating. The 15-ounce
aerosol provides coverage of up to 50 square feet of
lightweight fabric.
Stain
Chart
Sunbrella fabrics are
treated with a fluorocarbon finish that acts as a
sealant resistant to water & stains. Sunbrella is able
to hold up against inclement weather and even most
stains. For those occasions when stains may occur below

some of the most common and toughest stains.
