FABRICS  

CARE & CLEANING

One of the best ways to keep Sunbrella® fabrics 
looking good is to hose fabrics off every month with 
clean water. This helps prevent dirt from becoming 
deeply embedded in the fabric and eliminates the 
need for more frequent vigorous cleaning. 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, size permitting, they can be removed to aid in the 
cleaning of stubborn spills or for professional cleaning.

General or Light Cleaning 

To clean Sunbrella while still on an awning frame: 
•  Brush off loose dirt.
•  Hose down.
•  Prepare a cleaning solution of water and mild 

dishwashing soap. 

•  Use a soft bristle brush to clean.
•  Allow cleaning solution to soak into the fabric.
•  Rinse thoroughly until all soap residue 

is removed.

•  Air dry.
•  May not require re-treatment depending on the 

age of the fabric.

If stubborn stains persist, you can use a diluted 
bleach/soap mixture or 303 Multi Surface Cleaner for 
spot cleaning of mildew.

Heavy Cleaning for Stubborn Spills and Mildew

Sunbrella fabrics do not promote mildew growth, 
however, mildew may grow on dirt and other foreign 
substances that are not removed from the fabric. To 
clean stubborn stains:
•  Prepare a solution of 1 cup of bleach and 1/4 cup 

mild soap per gallon of clean water. 

•  Allow mixture to soak into fabric for up to 15 min. 
•  Clean with soft bristle brush. 

(Note: This step 

should be avoided when cleaning the coated side 
(Back side) of Sunbrella Plus, Supreme, or Clarity.)

•  Rinse thoroughly until all soap residue 

is removed.

•  Air dry.
•  Repeat if necessary.
•  Re-treatment of fabric for water and stain 

resistance will be necessary after using 
bleach solution.

Note: Use caution when cleaning the coated 
(underside) of Sunbrella Plus, Supreme, or Clarity 
with the recommended bleach solution. The coated 
side of the fabric should only be sprayed with the 
recommended bleach solution and rinsed thoroughly.

Retreating Sunbrella Fabrics

Sunbrella fabrics are engineered to provide long-term 
performance. After repeated thorough cleanings or 
years of use and exposure, you may choose to refresh 
your fabrics with an appropriate retreating agent. We 
recommend 303® Fabric Guard™ for the job.

Applying retreatment:
•  Clean Sunbrella fabric, using one of the cleaning 

methods outlined.

•  Allow Sunbrella to completely air dry.
•  Apply retreatment in a well-ventilated area 

following instructions on the container.
