One of the best ways to keep Sunbrella® brand 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. Do not put Sunbrella fabrics in a dryer, they will shrink. Better, air dry.
When cleaning Sunbrella fabrics, it is important to observe the following:
Always use a natural soap (like antibacterial dish-washing liquid). Never detergent.
Water should be cold to lukewarm. Never more than 100 degrees.
Air dry only. Never apply heat to Sunbrella fabrics or put in a drier.
If you are cleaning Sunbrella while still on an awning frame or a boat, follow these simple steps:
Brush off loose dirt.
Hose down.
Prepare a cleaning mixture of water and mild, natural soap (no detergents).
