is sunbrella fabric machine washable
Is Sunbrella fabric machine washable? In most cases, yes. Removable Sunbrella cushion covers and pillow cases can go in the washing machine with a little care. That easy upkeep is one reason this solution-dyed acrylic fabric is a favorite for patios, boats and busy family rooms.
How to Wash Sunbrella Cushion Covers
Follow these simple steps to keep your fabric looking fresh:
- Close zippers before washing to protect the fabric and the zipper teeth.
- Use cold water and a mild laundry detergent on a gentle cycle.
- Air dry only. Skip the dryer, since heat can affect the fabric's finish and shape.
When to Spot Clean Instead
Fixed upholstery, awnings and large panels can't go in the machine. For these, brush off loose dirt, then sponge with a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water, rinse thoroughly and let it air dry. Treat spills quickly so they don't set.
