Sunbrella® is
100% solution-dyed acrylic fabric. The name Sunbrella is
synonymous with the finest outdoor fabric in the world.
Sunbrella withstands sun, wind and rain while remaining
beautiful for years. The secret to our long lasting
color is found in the solution-dying process which locks
colors into the acrylic fibers, so they can't wash out
or fade. Fact is, Sunbrella is so durable, we use
original Sunbrelle, and please don't
accept an imitation outdoor fabric for your exclusive
outdoor furniture . Please contact us if you need
Cushion with sunbrella fabric, we appreciated and
support that do you need for cushion product and canopy
for umbrella and our exclusive Gazebo product.
Care of Sunbrella®
fabric
We
only use Sunbrella® fabrics to make our cushions and
parasols. Sunbrella® fabrics are widely recognised as
the best for use outdoors and are used extensively for
awnings, boat coverings, convertible car roofs, outdoor
furniture cushions, etc.
Colour
fast Sunbrella® fabric is made from 100% solution dyed
acrylic fibre. The solution dying process adds colour to
the acrylic fibres while they are in a liquid state
during manufacture, which locks in the colour and
prevents it fading out due to repeated washing or
exposure to strong sunlight. This is the secret to
Sunbrella's easy cleaning & long life.
Cleaning
One of the best ways to keep your cushion or
parasol fabrics looking good and to delay the need for
vigorous cleaning is to hose them off on a monthly basis
during the summer season with clean water. This practice
will help prevent dirt from becoming deeply imbedded in
the fabric and eliminate the need for more vigorous
cleaning at a later date. In most environments thorough
cleaning will be needed every year prior to the summer
season.
Cleaning a
parasol canopy on the frame
Parasol canopies should be cleaned
on the frame and not be washed in a machine, as the
leather pockets will spoil.
-
Brush off loose
dirt
-
Hose down with clean cold water
-
Prepare a
cleaning solution of a mild, natural soap (not a
detergent) in water
-
Apply the cleaning solution
using a soft bristle brush
-
Allow the soap to soak
in
-
Rinse thoroughly with clean cold water
-
Air
dry only and never apply heat to the
fabric
Cleaning
cushion covers
We recommend leaving cushion covers on the
cushions for cleaning rather than removing and putting
them in a washing machine.
-
Wash using natural soap
(not a detergent) and rinse using cold water
-
Air
dry only and never apply heat to the fabric
-
Never
put Sunbrella fabrics in a tumble dryer
Dry
cleaning
We
do not recommend dry cleaning Sunbrella fabric. The
chemicals used in the dry cleaning process will not harm
the fabric but due to the high temperatures used during
the drying process the heat may cause
shrinkage.
Mildew
& stubborn stains
Sunbrella® fabrics will not support the
growth of mildew, but dirt on the fabric can lead to
mildew growth, this makes regular cleaning important.
There is no set frequency for the cleaning of Sunbrella
fabric, which is largely determined by the local
environment and the frequency and care with which it is
used. Cleaning is required less frequently in a dry
environment than in a humid one around heavy foliage. If
stubborn stains persist you can use a diluted chlorine
bleach/soap mixture for spot cleaning of mildew and
other similar stains. Prepare a special cleaning mixture
and proceed as follows:
· 114 grams / 4oz of chlorine
bleach
· 56 grams / 2oz of natural soap
· 4.54
liters / 1 gallon of water
· Clean with a soft
bristle brush
· Allow the mixture to soak in for up
to 20 minutes
· Rinse thoroughly with clean cold
water
· Air dry and repeat the process, if
necessary
Is
Sunbrella® waterproof?
Sunbrella® is not waterproof but it is water
repellant. This means that during the manufacturing
process a water repellant finish is applied to the
fabric. The wear resulting from normal usage and
cleaning will slowly reduce the effectiveness of this
finish. If your fabric remains constantly exposed to the
elements and water repellency is a factor then we
suggest that you re-treat your Sunbrella® fabrics after
vigorous cleaning with a water repellant treatment or
fabric guard, available from marine shops.
Do
Sunbrella® fabrics provide uv
protection?
Sunbrella® fabrics have been tested and
proven to provide up to 98% uv protection from the
harmful effects of the sun, depending on the depth of
color. White and lighter colored fabrics provide less
protection than darker fabrics do. This protective
factor is inherent to the product and will not be
reduced by usage and/or exposure of the fabric to the
sun and both are inherently flame retardant. |
