To clean stubborn stains:
- Prepare a solution of 1 cup bleach and ¼ cup mild soap per gallon of clean water.
- Soak stained area in solution for 15 minutes.
- Remove stain with a sponge or clean towel.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Air dry.
NOTE: When using a bleach solution, remember to protect the area around your Sunbrella. Carpet and other nearby fabrics may have an adverse reaction to bleach.
If a boat cover is suitable in size for a washing machine:
- Use mild non-detergent such as Woolite®.
- For heavier stains add 1 cup of bleach to wash.
- Wash and rinse in cold water.
- Air dry. Never apply heat to Sunbrella fabric.
- After machine-washing, retreat fabric for water and stain resistance.
