Stains fall into one of two categories; water based or oil based. Water based stains include common household drinks like coffee, milk, fruit juice, soft drinks, beer, and wine; or foods like fruit/berries, ketchup, and ice cream, to name a few. Any water based stain can be treated using Sunbrella Clean Multi-Purpose Cleaner.

Stains fall into one of two categories; water based or oil based. Oil based are the toughest to completely remove as they are hydrophobic and repel water. Examples of oil based stains include butter, bacon grease, salad dressing, mayonnaise, and sunscreen. If an oil based stain remains after general cleaning, treat the area using Sunbrella Extract Oil Based Stain Remover.

Sunbrella Clean works great on everyday dirt, grime, spills, and water based stains.

Sunbrella Extract removes tough oil and grease stains. It also may be effective for lingering spots that don’t clean up fully after general cleaning.

Sunbrella Restore is a great option if you are looking for an easy way to refresh your outdoor fabrics.
