Care of your Sunbrella (outdoor) fabric

How can I best maintain my Sunbrella (outdoor textile)?

Sunbrella parasol fabrics are made from high-quality, durable, and weather-resistant textiles specifically designed for outdoor use. The material is renowned for its excellent colourfastness, UV resistance, and water-repellent properties. Sunbrella maintains its colour, strength, and appearance for many years, even under intensive use and prolonged exposure to sun, rain, and wind. This makes it an ideal choice for hospitality parasols that need to be both functional and stylish.

What can I use to treat my Sunbrella parasol fabric?

Before using your Sunbrella parasol fabric, it is advisable to treat it.

Step-by-step plan for initial treatment

  1. Cleaning
    Before using your Sunbrella parasol fabrics, it is recommended to lightly clean the fabric with a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove dust, lint, or production residues.
  2. Treatment
    Check the fabric for any loose seams or minor damage and, if necessary, treat these with a water- and stain-repellent spray designed for outdoor fabrics. This helps prevent dirt and moisture from penetrating and extends the lifespan of the fabric.

To keep Sunbrella parasol fabrics in top condition, regular maintenance is essential.

Step-by-step maintenance plan in use

  1. Weekly dusting: Brush dust, sand, or leaves off the fabric weekly with a soft brush. Avoid sharp objects that could damage the fabric, and allow the fabric to drip-dry after heavy rain before storing it. In strong sunlight, it is also advisable to close the fabric to prevent excessive fading or wear along the edges.

  2. Stain removal: For spilled liquids or stubborn dirt, prompt action is essential. First, blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth. Then use a mild soapy solution or a special Sunbrella cleaner and gently dab over the stain. Rinse the fabric thoroughly with clean water and allow it to air dry completely, preferably in the shade. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the water-repellent coating and the color.

Large maintenance and deep cleaning - After intensive use

How can I make my Sunbrella parasol fabric look like new again?

After a busy terrace season or prolonged use, a thorough cleaning is recommended.

Step-by-step plan for large maintenance

  1. Remove the fabric from the parasol and lay it flat or hang it up to remove dust and debris.

  2. Clean the fabric using a soft brush and lukewarm water with a mild detergent or a specialized Sunbrella cleaner.

  3. Rinse the fabric thoroughly with clean water and allow it to dry completely in the shade, out of direct sunlight.

  4. After drying, apply a water- and stain-repellent spray to restore the protective layer and maintain the colour.

  5. Check the seams and edges for wear and repair them if necessary before storing the fabric.

To keep Sunbrella parasol fabrics looking their best for as long as possible, it is important to clean them regularly and store them properly. Close the parasol during bad weather, strong winds, or prolonged rain to prevent wear. During the off-season, store the fabric in a dry, ventilated place, for example in a protective cover. With this care, the fabric will retain its colour, texture, and water-repellent properties for years, making it a durable, low-maintenance, and premium choice for hospitality parasols.
