MOST STAINS ON SOLUTION-DYED FABRICS CAN BE CLEANED UP WITH AN UPHOLSTERY & FABRIC CLEANER OR A NATURAL MILD SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. Solution-Dyed fabrics should be cleaned regularly before substances such as dirt, etc., are allowed to accumulate on and become embedded in the fabric. The fabric can be cleaned without being removed from the umbrella or cushion. Simply brush off any loose dirt, etc., clean with warm water (no more than 100° F) and an upholstery & fabric cleaner or a mild natural soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove cleaner. It may be necessary to re-apply a water-repellent treatment. When washing or cleaning, DO NOT SUBJECT TO EXCESSIVE HEAT as the fabric will shrink. DO NOT STEAM PRESS OR DRY IN ELECTRIC OR GAS DRYERS. Allow fabric to air dry. In case Solution-Dyed fabrics are stored during the winter season, it should be cleaned, allowed to air dry and stored in a dry, well ventilated area. For stubborn stains, please see recommended cleaning solutions below for more specific cleaning instructions.
