Duralee Pavilion consists of three different types of indoor/outdoor product, Sunbrella®, Weatherwize® and Teflon®. Please follow these care instructions for the indicated finish.
It is important that fabrics are cleaned regularly. Most dirt and stains can be cleaned if they are promptly treated. The fabric can be machine washed at a low temperature (less than 100 degrees F) with lukewarm water using a mild soap.
Do not dry in electric or gas dryers and iron the fabric only at a low temperature. Excessive heat will shrink the fabric. Allow to air or line dry. Stain removal: Brush stain lightly, spot clean with warm water and a mild detergent, non-chlorinated bleach or diluted chlorinated bleach. An upholstery spot cleaner may also be effective. Blot the stain with a cloth or a sponge damp with the solution, turning continually so that only the clean part of sponge or cloth is in contact with the stain. NEVER RUB. Never try to remove a stain with household detergents. For large or serious stains, a professional upholstery cleaner is recommended.
Sunbrella® is a solution dyed acrylic fabric that resists stains, water, and mildew; retains color and strength. During the winter season it should be cleaned, air dried, and stored in a dry well-ventilated area.
Most stains can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. Sunbrella® 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 piece. Simply brush off any loose dirt, etc. then clean with water and a mild natural soap. (No more than 100 degrees F.) Rinse thoroughly to remove soap. When using liquid detergent, it may be necessary to re-apply a water repellant treatment, such as 303 Hi Tech Fabric Guard or a similar product.
Sunbrella® is made from 100% acrylic fiber and is heat sensitive. 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.
