When it’s time for a thorough cleaning, Sunbrella fabrics can be cleaned while still on a boat or, size permitting, they can be removed for cleaning in a washing machine or dockside. When cleaning Sunbrella fabrics, it is important to observe the following:

* Always use a mild soap such as Ivory Snow, Dreft or Woolite.
* Water should be cold to lukewarm (Never more than 100°F/38°C.)
* Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
* Air dry only. Never apply heat to Sunbrella fabrics.

General or light cleaning

To clean Sunbrella while still on a boat, follow these simple steps:

* Brush off loose dirt.
* Hose down.
* Prepare a cleaning solution of water and mild soap such as Ivory Snow, Dreft or Woolite (no detergents).
* Use a soft bristle brush to clean.
* Allow cleaning solution to soak into the fabric.
* Rinse thoroughly until all soap residue is removed.
* Air dry.
* May not require re-treatment depending on the age of the fabric.

If stubborn stains persist, you can use a diluted chlorine bleach/soap mixture for spot cleaning of mildew, roof run-off or other similar stains (see our Stain Chart for specific recommendations).
