Cleaning and caring for Sunbrella® cushions
Sunbrella fabric is made to live outside for years. The colour is in the fibre, so you can clean firmly without the fabric fading. Here you read how to tackle stains, which products Sunbrella makes itself and how to protect the cover for next season.

Avoid this
- No scrubbing with hard brushes or abrasives.
- No tumble dryer, no wringing. Air dry only.
- No steamer or steam iron; ironing on a low (synthetic) setting is fine.
- Don't leave cushions wet. Stand them on their side after rain.
- Store dry and ventilated over winter.
Frequently asked questions
Can the cover go in the washing machine?
Yes. Open the zip, take out the inner cushion and wash at 30 °C (Natté at 40 °C), without fabric softener. No tumble dryer.
Can I use bleach?
Yes, diluted. The colour is in the fibre and does not fade from it. Rinse well afterwards and protect other fabrics nearby.
How often should I use Sunbrella Restore?
Only when water no longer beads off, usually after a few years or several thorough washes. Clean first, let dry, then Restore.
