General Cleaning Guidelines:
One of the best ways to keep Sunrax fabrics looking good is to brush off dirt and debris before they become embedded in the fabric. Also, address messes and clean spills as soon as they occur, as the quicker you clean spills, the easier they can be to remove.
Detailed Cleaning Instructions
Dealing with Spills
- If a new spill occurs on your Sunrax fabric, begin by blotting (not rubbing) liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth.
- For oil-based spills, apply an absorbent like cornstarch, and then remove it with a straight edge.
- Spray on a mild cleaning solution of soap and water
- Rinse the fabric thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Allow the fabric to air dry.
For Outdoor Upholstery
- Hand Washing: Soak the fabric in a solution of 1/4 cup mild soap per gallon of lukewarm water. Use a sponge or very soft bristle brush to lightly agitate the stain. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue and allow the fabric to air dry.
- Machine Washing: Some removable casings can be machine-washed; however, consult the furniture manufacturer before removing the casing, as cushion construction may vary.
- Cleaning Non-Removable Fabric: Prepare a solution of 1/4 cup mild soap per gallon of lukewarm water. Use a soft bristle brush to clean, allowing the cleaning solution to soak into the fabric. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
For Indoor Upholstery
- Apply a light mist of mild soap and water using a spray bottle
- Work the solution into the stain by lightly agitating the entire surface area of the fabric, moving from seam to seam, with a sponge or very soft bristle brush. Avoid scrubbing or using a hard-bristled brush.
- Rinse the fabric thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Blot excess moisture with a clean, soft towel or sponge.
- Blot or wet-vacuum excess water from the entire surface area of the fabric, moving from seam to seam.
- Allow the fabric to air dry.
Mold and Mildew
Sunrax fabrics are not prone to promoting mildew growth. However, to remove mold or mildew:
- Prepare a solution of 1 cup of bleach and 1/4 cup mild soap per gallon of water.
- Spray the entire area and allow it to soak into the fabric for 15 minutes.
- Clean the entire surface area with a sponge, clean towel, or very soft bristle brush.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue and allow the fabric to air dry.
- For severe mold/mildew growth, bleach quantities may be increased.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure your Sunrax fabrics stay clean and beautiful, whether they're used indoors or outdoors.

Heavy Cleaning for Stubborn Spills and Mildew

- After this, proceed with the cleaning process.
For tough stains
