Canvas Cleaning Instructions
Care and Maintenance Canvas:
One of the best ways to keep Sunbrella brand and other canvas fabrics looking good and to delay the need for deep or vigorous cleanings is to hose fabrics off on a monthly basis with clear water. This practice will help prevent dirt from becoming deeply embedded in the fabric and eliminate the need for more frequent vigorous cleanings. In most environments, a thorough cleaning will be needed every two to three years.
When it's time for a thorough cleaning, canvas can be cleaned while still on an awning frame or a boat or, size permitting, they can be removed for cleaning in a washing machine.When cleaning Sunbrella or other canvas fabrics, it is important to observe the following:
If you are cleaning canvas while still on an awning frame or a boat, follow these simple steps:
If stubborn stains persist, you can use a diluted chlorine bleach/soap mixture for spot cleaning of mildew, roof run-off or other similar stains or try 303 High Fabric/Vinyl Cleaner™
Prepare a special cleaning mixture:
Remember to protect the area around your canvas if using a bleach solution. Carpet or other fabrics may have an adverse reaction to the bleach.
If an awning or boat cover is suitable in size for a washing machine, these steps should be followed:
Retreating the Fabric
As part of the finishing process, Sunbrella and canvas fabrics are treated with a fluorocarbon finish, which enhances water repellency. This finish is designed to last for several years, but must be replenished after a thorough cleaning. Based on test results, Sunbrella - Glen Raven recommends 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™ as the preferred re-treatment product for Sunbrella and canvas fabrics. Fabrics should be retreated after thorough cleaning or after five years of use. Check with your local dealer or distributor for more information.Applying 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™
303 should be applied to Sunbrella and canvas fabrics after each thorough cleaning, which typically removes the original fluorocarbon finish and reduces the fabric's water repellency. After cleaning the fabric, allow it to air dry completely and then apply 303 in a thin, even coat. After allowing the first coat of 303 to air dry, apply a second thin, even coating of 303. Two light coatings are more effective in restoring fabric water resistance than a single heavy coating. A 15-ounce bottle provides coverage of up to 50 square feet of lightweight fabric. Always apply 303 to clean fabric.Professional Awning Cleaners
You may have access to professional cleaning firms that service awnings. In evaluating the services of a professional firm, you should inquire about a firms experience in working with Sunbrella and canvas fabrics and knowledge of cleaning and pretreatment requirements.brought to you by www.CanvasAndVinyl.com
