HOW TO CLEAN YOUR OUTDOOR PARASOL FABRIC

Recasens acrylic canvas fabric is water and mould repellent and will last a very
long time if maintained well. However, over time, the accumulation of dust,
pollution particles, organic plant matter, pollen and general dirt can embed itself
into the fabric and shorten the life of it.
It is a good idea to periodically give your parasol fabric a light brush down with
a soft bristled brush/broom and water from a garden hose. This will help to
dislodge and remove loose dust and dirt that has settled on the fabric before it
can embed itself deeply. Although mould will not grow directly on clean
acrylic canvas, as dirt and organic matter embeds itself into the fabric the mould
will be able to grow on the embedded dirt and organic matter, so it is best to
remove dirt early.

How To Clean Light Dirt And Marks From Your Outdoor Parasol Fabric:
Depending on how often you use your parasol, you may eventually need to give
it a more thorough wash to remove any embedded dirt or early signs of mould
growth. To do this you will need to mix warm water and sugar soap in a bucket.
Use a soft bristled brush (or a long broom) to generously work this soapy water
into a lather over the parasol fabric. Focus mostly on the areas with the most dirt
or stains, then allow the soapy water to soak into the parasol fabric.

Once you are finished soaking the parasol fabric, rinse it thoroughly with a hose
until all soap residue is removed, and then air dry the fabric.
