Hand Washing
It is important to care for your Sunbrella fabrics properly so they remain their original appearance. Avoiding a need for deep cleaning is as easy as removing dirt before it enters the fabric, cleaning up spills as soon as they happen and eliminating stains as quickly as possible. After all, Sunbrella fabrics have a special finish, which boosts water repellency and is designed to last for many years of use.

For Removable Cushion Covers & Slipcovers:
For stubborn stains and/or mildew While Sunbrella fabric does not support the growth of mildew, mildew may exist on dirt and other substances if they are not removed from the fabric.
*If stain and/or mildew are severe, bleach quantities may be increased. See our Stain Chart for removal of specific stains.
When using a bleach mixture around your Sunbrella fabric, be sure to protect the area. Bleach may dye non-Sunbrella fabrics. Also, wash your Sunbrella fabrics completely to remove all bleach and soap residue. In addition, because Sunbrella fabrics air dry quickly, it is not necessary to machine dry. If you are troubled with wrinkles, use an iron with a "synthetic fabric" heat setting. Otherwise, it is recommended you do not use a steamer or an iron with a steam setting on your Sunbrella fabrics.
