Cleaning

Always use a mild soap such as Ivory Snow, Dreft or Woolite.
Water should be cold to lukewarm.
Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
Air dry only. Never apply heat to Sunbrella fabrics.

General or light cleaning

To clean Sunbrella fabric while still on an awning frame, follow these simple steps:

1. Brush off loose dirt.
2. Hose down.
3. Prepare a cleaning solution of water and mild soap such as Ivory Snow, Dreft or Woolite (no detergents).
4. Use a soft bristle brush to clean.
5. Allow cleaning solution to soak into the fabric.
6. Rinse thoroughly until all soap residue is removed.
7. Air dry.
8. May not require re-treatment depending on the age of the fabric.

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 re-treated after thorough cleaning or after five years of use. For more information on re-treatment products, please visit www.303products.com.
