Use and Care Manual

Indoor Upholstery
• Apply a light mist of mild soap and water using a spray bottle.
• Work the solution into the spill by lightly agitating the entire surface area of the fabric,
moving from seam to seam, with a sponge or very soft bristle brush. Avoid scrubbing,
and do not use a hard bristled brush or anything that will abrade the fabric.
• Rinse the entire fabric thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
• Blot excess moisture with a clean, soft towel or sponge.
• Blot or wet-vacuum excess water from the entire surface area of the fabric, moving from seam to seam.
• Air dry. Repeat rinsing and blotting until all soap residue isremoved.
Professional Cleaners
Inquire about a firm’s experience working with Sunbrella fabrics and
knowledge of cleaning and re-treatment requirements.
Machine Washing
Some removable casings can be washed in the washing machine, however consult
the furniture manufacturer before removing the casing as cushion construction may
vary. To wash, first close all zippers. Machine wash in cold water on the delicate
cycle with normal amounts of mild laundry detergent. Allow fabric to air dry.
Seam-To-Seam Cleaning
When cleaning upholstered pieces, clean the entire surface area of the fabric, from seam
to seam, instead of rubbing the fabric in a circular motion on the spill. This method,along
with an extractor, may be required in order to avoid water rings and residue.
Oil-Based Spills
Immediately apply an absorbent such as corn starch directly on the oil-based spill. Let sit for
10 minutes and remove the excess using a straight edge or ruler. This helps remove the spill
and prevents it from being pressed into the fabric. Then proceed with the cleaning process.
For other spills, products such as 303

applicable. Specific information on spill cleaning is available at sunbrella.com/cleaningguide
