Sunbrella® Warranty & Care Guide
Industry-leading performance fabrics engineered for lasting beauty, exceptional durability, and easy maintenance.
Why Sunbrella?
Sunbrella is one of the most recognized and trusted names in performance fabrics, offering long-lasting comfort, rich color, durability, and cleanability for outdoor and hospitality environments.
Fade Resistant
Unmatched resistance to fading and the degrading effects of sunlight.
Durable
Retains strength after years of cleaning, weathering, and everyday use.
Easy to Clean
Mild soap cleans most common stains, while stronger solutions may be used for tougher stains.
Colorfast
Color is built into the fiber, not simply applied to the surface.
Luxurious Touch
Soft hand feel with exceptional comfort and a refined finished look.
Trusted Quality
Made with quality raw materials, testing, and decades of fabric experience.
Performance Built Into Every Fiber
Sunbrella fabrics are made with high-performance, UV-stabilized pigments added during the production of fade-resistant fiber. This gives the yarn and fabric color throughout, helping it resist fading and washing away over time.
Think of Sunbrella like a carrot: color goes all the way through. Ordinary fabrics are more like a radish: color sits closer to the surface and can fade or wash away over time.
Sunbrella Fabric
Color is saturated throughout the fiber for lasting performance.
Ordinary Fabric
Color is often added only to the surface and may fade over time.
GREENGUARD Gold Certified
Sunbrella fabrics have achieved GREENGUARD GOLD Certification and are certified as contributing to healthy indoor air quality by being a very low-emitting interior product.
Certified Performance
A beautiful fabric choice with performance, comfort, cleanability, and responsible material standards in mind.

Prepare a cleaning solution of 1/4 cup mild soap per gallon of lukewarm water.
Use a sponge or soft bristle brush to clean.
