Normal cleaning and maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance are important in maintaining the upholstery fabric’s appearance as well as extending its life.

• Remove loose dirt and grime with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
• Use a mild soap solution to clean the fabric.
• Clean the entire surface every time to avoid stains.
• Use a sponge or a soft brush with soapy water for cleaning.
• Allow the soap solution to soak into the fabric.
• Rinse afterwards with clean water to remove all the soap remaining.
• The fabric must subsequently be completely air-dried before use.

Special cleaning – stain removal

For all stains, in general, the quicker the stain is removed, the greater the chance for the stain to completely disappear.

• Soak up spilled liquids with a clean cloth as soon as possible. Non-greasy stains should first be removed by gently dabbing with a clean cloth or sponge soaked in clean, warm water or a mild soap solution.
• Stains from thick liquids or solids should be scraped up as much as possible before further cleaning.
• Clean the stain with a mild soap solution.
• Carefully work the soap solution into the stain with a sponge or a soft brush.
• Rinse with clean water afterwards to remove all the soap remaining.
• Any excess water can be soaked up with a clean towel or a sponge if the fabric is very wet.
• The fabric must subsequently be completely air-dried before use.
• Repeat if necessary.

Retreating

After thorough cleaning, Sunbrella® can be treated again with a water repellent impregnation suitable for furniture fabric.

Special consideration

If the fabric is heavily soiled, it is recommended to contact a professional furniture dry cleaner.

Steam cleaning must not be used.
