CARE AND CLEANING
One of the best ways to keep Sunbrella® awning and marine fabrics looking good and to delay the need for deep vigorous cleaning is to hose fabrics off on a monthly basis with clear, cool water. This practice will help prevent dirt from becoming deeply embedded in the fabric and eliminate the need for more frequent vigorous cleaning. In most environments, a thorough cleaning will be needed every two to three years.
