If your cushions need a refresh after the winter months, give your outdoor fabrics a quick touch-up cleaning. A simple fabric cleanse will restore your Sunbrella cushions to “like new” condition in a matter of minutes. If you see evidence of some minor winter weather wear, apply a mild solution of soap diluted in water, allow it to soak into the fabric for a few seconds, then apply a gentle scrub and rinse. For any instance of mold and mildew, all Sunbrella fabrics are 100% bleach cleanable, removing mildew and keeping that beautiful color. For more helpful how-to’s on how to clean your Sunbrella fabrics, follow this step-by-step guide!

How to clean

As warm summer air pushes cool air out, your outdoor spaces are susceptible to extreme weather conditions. Ensure that your outdoor fabrics are equipped to handle the frequent showers and scorching sun of spring and summer weather. Sunbrella fabrics are equipped with water resistance, durability and UV-stable pigments to keep your cushions looking vibrant and crisp through intense environmental elements, all season long. For an extra layer of UV protection for you and your outdoor furniture, shade structures such as awnings and pergolas can serve as a reprieve from the intense summer sun rays.

Finally, it’s time to ensure that your outdoor space is styled for however you and your family want to spend your outdoor leisure time. Whether your backyard is your quiet morning coffee perch, the place you escape and unwind with an al fresco dinner with your partner, or your family’s personal playground, outfit your outdoor space with fabrics that fit your unique lifestyle. The expectation is to be able to use your space however you wish, and that is made easier with performance fabrics. Unconditional love – like your love of red wine or your kids loving an ice cream treat on a hot summer day – requires unconditional fabrics. The last thing you want to have to worry about is dirtying your cushions. Sunbrella brings the power of performance to your backyard, so that you can focus on making memories with your loved ones.
