Many people opt for Sunbrella patio furniture due to its comfort, style and durability. Not only is this material water, mold and mildew resistant but its easy cleaning makes this ideal choice.
Many of the brands we carry offer sunbrella fabric options for their chairs, chaise lounges and market umbrellas – this material crafted from solution-dyed acrylic has the same softness and resilience of indoor upholstery.
Durability
Your outdoor furniture fabric selection can have a tremendous effect on its lifespan and ability to withstand daily damage such as weather, dirt, and spills. The best furniture fabrics are those which can stand up against daily use while being resistant to wear-and-tear caused by children and pets being in close proximity.
Sunbrella and Tempotest Italian Performance Fabric offer great outdoor fabric solutions, providing both durability and style to outdoor furniture. Both brands can deliver unparalleled performance for patio furniture. Furthermore, both fabrics can also be found beyond patio use: you may come across them used in boat upholstery, marine awnings, umbrellas, restaurant awnings, outdoor curtains, pergolas, hot tub covers or hammocks. Artisans have long relied upon these durable yet stylish materials due to their superior comfort levels as well as protection from the elements.
These fabrics are constructed from solution dyed acrylic, an extremely resilient material resistant to stains, mildew and UV damage. Before being spun into yarn form, their fibers are saturated with colors stabilized with UV filters allowing the colors to remain true after prolonged sun exposure. Furthermore, unlike cheaper cotton cushions which mold and mildew easily in damp environments, these fabrics can be bleach cleaned easily while resisting fading over time.
Fabrics designed with fade-resistant properties also dry quickly when wet and can withstand rainfall, snowfall or hailstorms. Furthermore, these fabrics can easily be maintained through using soapy water on their surface for cleaning or mild bleach to restore faded areas in more serious cases.
Although regular outdoor furniture cleaning is essential, so is taking steps to prevent stains and spills before they occur. Brush your furniture frequently to remove dirt before it becomes embedded; quickly cleaning up spills with mild soap and water when they occur; storing cushions in cool, dry locations that are free from rodents (they love chewing through upholstery and fill), covering them with old sheets or blankets for additional protection if possible before storage; this can extend their lives considerably.

Maintenance
Sunbrella fabrics are designed to withstand damage caused by sunlight fading and staining, yet require routine care in order to remain in good condition. This care requires regular cleaning as well as protecting them against harsh weather conditions like high winds, rain and snow. Furthermore, placing these fabrics properly indoors and outdoors to minimize exposure to direct sunlight, heat or moisture can also prevent fabric deterioration from sunlight exposure and prolong fabric lifespan.
To keep Sunbrella upholstery in top condition, the first step should be brushing away loose dirt regularly. This can prevent serious staining from taking place if dirt sits for extended periods on fabric surfaces. For any stains already present, mix 1/4 cup mild dishwashing soap per gallon of lukewarm water and use it to scrub affected areas with sponge or soft bristle brush before rinsing thoroughly to remove soap residue and allow fabric to air dry naturally.
Protecting Sunbrella furniture from the elements with fabric protector is also crucial, and should be applied as instructed on its label to help repel water, dirt, mold and mildew growth. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when applying this product; once applied ensure cushion covers are completely dry before using them again.
If your Sunbrella fabrics begin showing signs of discoloration or fading, oxygen bleach treatments may help restore them back to their original colors and brightness. Before initiating such treatment yourself, however, it would be prudent to contact a professional cleaning company with experience in treating Sunbrella fabrics – asking whether they have ever used oxygen bleach on Sunbrella before, how long before rinsing off, etc.
Sunbrella cushion covers that can be removed can be machine washed in cold water with mild detergent for machine washing. After each washing cycle it is recommended to close all zippers on the cover and let it air dry completely before returning it to furniture.
