Q & A about Sunbrella Fabrics Q: What makes Sunbrella fabric so durable?
A: Sunbrella is the result of over 45 years of ongoing research and development.
Sunbrella's UV-resistant color pigments are fully blended into its high performance
fiber. Sunbrella fabric's strength and color refuses to fade even under the
harshest conditions, while retaining the softness of spun cotton.
Q: Is Sunbrella furniture fabric waterproof?
A: Because Sunbrella Furniture fabrics are designed to be breathable, they
are water repellent, but not completely waterproof. Over time, the water
repellency can be refreshed by using 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™ (www.303products.com).
Q: How often do I need to thoroughly clean Sunbrella?
A: The best way to keep Sunbrella brand fabrics looking good is to simply clean
them as needed. Rinse off dust and dirt, wipe spills as soon as they occur
or spot clean soon after stains occur. Occasional rainfall will help keep
your outdoor furniture clean. Removable cushion covers may be machine-washed
in cold water with mild laundry soap and air-dried. For more stubborn stains,
Sunbrella fabrics are bleach cleanable.
Q: What about mildew?
A: Mildew will not grow on Sunbrella unless there is food, dirt or other organic
matter on the fabric. Keeping Sunbrella clean is the best defense against
mildew. Bleach and other mildew removers do not affect Sunbrella, so cleaning
mildew is easy if it becomes necessary.
Q: Can I put wet Sunbrella in the dryer?
A: Sunbrella fabrics do not absorb water and are designed to air-dry very quickly
- usually within a matter of minutes. A clothes dryer is not necessary, and
will often overheat and shrink the fabric.
Q: Do Sunbrella furniture fabrics provide UV protection?
A: Sunbrella furniture fabrics have been tested and proven to provide up to
98% UV protection from harmful effects of the sun when used in shade applications.
Sunbrella furniture fabrics have been awarded the "Seal of Recommendation" by
The Skin Cancer Foundation, an international organization dedicated to the
prevention of skin cancer.
