HOW TO CLEAN SUNBRELLA® MARINE CANVAS

One of the best ways to keep Sunbrella fabrics looking good is to hose fabrics off on a monthly basis with clear water. This helps prevent dirt from becoming deeply embedded in the fabric and eliminates the need for more frequent vigorous cleaning. In most environments, a thorough cleaning will be needed every two to three years.

To clean Sunbrella while still on a boat, follow these simple steps:
-Brush off loose dirt.
-Hose down.
-Prepare a cleaning solution of water and mild soap such as Woolite or Dawn dishwashing liquid.
-Use a soft bristle brush to clean.
-Allow cleaning solution to soak into the fabric.
-Rinse thoroughly until all soap residue is removed.
-Air dry.

Boat canvas is subjected to more severe punishment than any other type of canvas or fabric item. Although canvas products are rigid, they should not be neglected for long periods of time, especially during inclement weather.

Water-pockets may form especially after snow. If canvas is not assembled and installed taut this will add load on the canvas and frame possibly causeing damage to the frame, fabric streaching, thread breakage, tears and leaking.

Your canvas is water repellent and not waterproof. During rain some leakage may occur. Keep objects from touching the inside of the canvas unit. Such objects may cause leakage at the point of contact.

Moisture, dirt, heat, ultraviolet rays and salt water are all factors that accelerate the degradation of your boat canvas and upholstery. These elements can do serious damage if left unchecked. Take a moment to review these elements to see what can be done to slow down the degradation.
