Why Sunbrella® ?
Sunbrella performance fabrics are made of 100% solution-dyed acrylic. Their fibers are saturated with color and UV-stabilized pigments before they’re spun into yarn–meaning the pigment goes all the way through the fibers and the color stays true over time. This unique process makes Sunbrella performance fabrics inherently fade resistant, UV protective and durable to the core; maintaining color and quality through cleaning, wear or exposure to outdoor elements.
Fabric Care
100% Solution-Dyed Acrylic Fabrics: Limited warranty:
5 years against fading
MOST STAINS ON SOLUTION-DYED FABRICS CAN BE CLEANED UP WITH A MILD SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION.
Solution-Dyed fabrics should be cleaned regularly before substances such as dirt, etc., are allowed to accumulate on and become embedded in the fabric. The fabric can be cleaned without being removed from the umbrella. Simply brush off any loose dirt, etc., clean with warm water (no more than 100° F) and a mild natural soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove soap. When using liquid detergent, it may be necessary to re-apply a water repellent treatment. When washing or cleaning, DO NOT SUBJECT TO EXCESSIVE HEAT as the fabric will shrink. DO NOT STEAM PRESS OR DRY IN ELECTRIC OR GAS DRYERS. Allow fabric to air dry. In case Solution-Dyed fabrics are stored during the winter season, it should be cleaned, allowed to air dry and stored in a dry, well ventilated area. For stubborn stains, please see the stain cleaning chart for more specific cleaning instructions.

Disinfecting Sunbrella Fabrics
With the Covid-19 global pandemic, many of us have become more aware of the things we touch and how we can disinfect them to protect those we care about most. Sunbrella’s performance doesn’t stop at the finish–it’s engineered into the core of each fabric with a proprietary blend of fibers that are completely saturated with color–making them highly resistant to chemicals and UV light.
As a result, Sunbrella fabrics can be cleaned and sanitized with disinfectants such as bleach and other chemicals without fear of color loss or degradation. Disinfecting or sanitizing often requires the use of strong chemicals that might damage other fabrics. However, Sunbrella fabric is proven to withstand repeated cleaning with chemicals without voiding the comprehensive warranty.
