For wrinkles:

In the event your outdoor curtains become wrinkled, we recommend using an iron set to “synthetic fabric” setting. Make sure to test your iron on a smaller section, to ensure the correct temperature is being applied.

Under NO circumstances should you dry clean your Sunbrella® or Tempotest® outdoor curtains.

For spot cleaning follow these steps:

1. Apply a light mist of mild soap and water using a spray bottle.
2. Work the solution into the stain by lightly scrubbing the area with a sponge or soft cloth.
3. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
4. Air Dry.
5. Repeat these steps until stain is removed.

For hand washing follow these steps:

1. Pre-treat any heavily stained areas with an appropriate stain remover (We recommend either 303 Fabric Cleaner or Oxyclean).
2. Depending on wash load size, use normal amounts of mild laundry soap.
3. Hand wash in cold water for best results.
4. Air Dry.

For Stubborn Stains and/or Mildew follow these steps:

1. Add 1 cup of bleach to the cleaning solution.
2. Soak fabric for 10 - minutes in the diluted cleaning solution (stop machine prior to agitation).
3. Hand wash in cold water.
4. Air Dry.

**Machine Washing/Drying any of our outdoor curtains can potentially harm the fabric and grommets and is not recommended.
