One of the best ways to keep fabrics looking good is to brush off dirt before it becomes embedded in the fabrics and wipe up spills or clean soon after a stain occurs. The quicker you clean spills and stains, the easier they can be to remove.
Protected Fabrics, such as Crypton, Sunbrella, or Alta, can be cleaned by:
Blot (don’t rub") liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth. For oil-based spills, apply an absorbent such as corn starch, then remove with a straight edge.
Spray on a mild cleaning solution of soap (such as Dawn, Forever New Liquid or Woolite) and water.
Rinse the fabric thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Air dry.
