2. Stain resistance, durability, and water repellence are all features of high-quality outdoor furnishing fabrics. Because this fabric is so well-liked in the industry, it will be used to cover most high-end patio furniture. To ensure that your cushions and pillows last as long as possible, adhere to the following guidelines

4. Cleaning (General or Light) • Outdoor fabrics should be washed on a regular basis. Any spills should be cleaned up quickly, before the chemical has a chance to gather and be rubbed into the fabric, embedding itself. The need for more frequent and vigorous cleanings will be eliminated as a result of this ongoing upkeep. Mold, mildew, UV, and stain resistance are all built into most exterior-grade materials. It should, however, be cleaned on a regular basis to avoid the need for more thorough cleaning.

5. Please follow these cleaning instructions: • Clean up any loose dirt or debris. • Mix 2 ounces (1/4 cup) mild detergent with a gallon of semi-warm water (under 100°F/38°C) to make a cleaning solution. • To clean, use a sponge or a soft bristle brush and apply the solution in light stokes in the same direction as the fabric’s weave. • Allow a few minutes for the cleaning solution to seep into the cloth. • Rinse with clean water thoroughly. The majority of hoses come with attachments that might be extremely useful throughout this operation. • Let the fabric air dry. • Machine-washable outdoor cloth umbrella canopies and cushion covers should be washed in cold water (less than 100°F/38°C). Use the right amount of mild washing detergent for the job. Allow the fabric to air dry rather than putting it in the dryer.

7. Cleaning on the Spot • Using a misting spray bottle, apply a light mist of the cleaning solution described above. • Using a sponge or a very soft bristle brush, gently work the solution into the stain by lightly blotting and brushing the afflicted area. • Rinse thoroughly with cool, clean water. • Using a clean, soft towel or sponge, blot off any excess moisture. To remove excess moisture, you can alternatively use a Wet Vac. • Repeat this process until the stain is gone. Patience is essential!

9. Stubborn Stains and Mildew Require Extensive Cleaning • Mildew can form on dirt and other debris that isn’t removed quickly enough from the fabric. To remove mildew or other difficult stains, follow these steps: • For each gallon (8 cups) of clean water, make a solution of 8 ounces (1 cup) rubbing alcohol and 2 ounces (1/4 cup) mild soap. • Spray the entire area with the product and let it soak in. • Using a soft bristle brush, sponge, or clean towel, scrub vigorously. • Rinse thoroughly with cool water after each use. • Let the fabric air dry. • If a stain, mould, or mildew is serious, bleach in modest doses may be utilised. However, use bleach sparingly because it has the potential to harm fabric when used in high concentrations.

11. Fabric Retrenchment • The capacity of most materials to repel water is enhanced with a specific finish guard. The finish is designed to last several years under normal conditions, although it may need to be reapplied after a thorough cleaning or prolonged use. Using a spray-on fabric guard to retreat is strongly advised.

13. Cleaning Services by Professionals • Inquire about a professional cleaner’s experience cleaning external fabrics and re-treatment requirements when evaluating their services. Dry cleaning fabrics is not a good idea.
