Sunbrella® Fabric Care – Deep Cleaning & Mildew Removal

Sunbrella® Fabric Care – Deep Cleaning & Mildew

While Sunbrella fabric is mildew-resistant, mildew can grow on dirt and debris left on the surface. For deeper cleaning:

1 gallon water + Mix 1 cup bleach + ¼ cup mild soap
Apply with a soft brush and allow to soak up to 15 minutes
Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry
Repeat if needed

Helpful Tips for Sunbrella® Fabric:
Always rinse thoroughly after using bleach
Protect surrounding plants, carpet, or fabrics when cleaning
Do not use steamers or high-temperature irons
If needed, iron on the synthetic setting after testing a small, hidden area
Sunbrella air dries quickly — no machine drying is necessary

Re-Treating Sunbrella® Fabric

Sunbrella fabrics come with a water-repellent finish that should be restored after deep cleaning or every 5 years of use.

We recommend 303® High Tech Fabric Guard™:

  1. Clean and fully dry the fabric

  2. Apply 303 in a well-ventilated area

  3. Spray a thin, even coat and let dry completely

  4. Apply a second light coat for best results

A 15 oz bottle covers approximately 50 square feet.
