Fabric Care and Maintenance Suggestions
From PATIO PLACE

To keep your furniture looking its best for years to come, we recommend some minimal care...

Casual furniture fabrics can survive with benign neglect. However, with care and periodic cleaning they will thrive, retaining their good looks far longer. Always read the fabric hangtags that come with the new furniture.

Mildew grows in dirt, not fabric - another good reason to address stains promptly and keep furniture clean. Rinsing is very important. If soap is left, it becomes sticky and attracts more dirt. If bleach is left, it may breakdown fibers and weaken their strength. Taking cushions in when not in use will help to extend their good looks. In the winter, store cushions or slings out of the elements or, at least, keep them covered. Doing so will save a major spring clean up.

ACRYLIC FABRICS
Use a solution of lukewarm water and mild soap. Be sure to rinse thoroughly. Heavy stains and mildew may be removed with a solution of one gallon of water, one cup bleach and two capfuls of dish detergent. Sponge this mixture on gently, allowing it to penetrate the fabric. Then, rinse very well several times. Very important: Never use bleach or harsh detergents on an acrylic print.

VINYL COATED POLYESTER FABRICS
Wash with a solution of soap or mild detergent and water. Rinse very thoroughly. Very important: Never use bleach or any other harsh cleaner on printed polyester.

OLEFIN FABRICS
Brush off any dirt and clean with a solution of lukewarm water and mild soap. Sponge thoroughly with water. For stubborn stains or mildew, mix three gallons of warm water with one cup of household bleach and one cup of mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.

ACRYLIC/OLEFIN BLEND FABRICS
For basic dirt, use lukewarm water and mild detergent. For heavy stains, wash with a solution of one gallon of water, one cup of bleach and two capfuls of dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
