Certain Sunbrella fabrics are coated with a finish that makes them highly water resistant and stain resistant.
If you notice, over time, that your finish is wearing away, try dripping some water on the fabric. If it beads off, the finish is still there. If it soaks into the fabric, we recommend cleaning thoroughly and retreating with Sunbrella Restore™ Fabric Protector & Repellent. For more in-depth instructions, check out our cleaning guide.
