Method 3

Although Sunbrella fabrics prevent mold growth, mold may grow on dirt of other substances that aren’t removed from the fabric. How to remove mold or mildew:

  • Create a solution using 1 cup of bleach and 1/4 cup of mild soap for every gallon of water
  • Apply to fabric and allow it to soak for 15 minutes
  • Use a soft bristle brush, towel, or sponge to remove the stain
  • Rinse with water until the soap is gone
  • Set out the fabric to air dry
  • Depending on the severity of the mildew, the quantity of bleach can increase

To Disinfect

  • Create a solution of 10:1 water to bleach for sanitation
  • Can use other disinfectants like hydrogen peroxide
