becoming deeply imbedded in the fabric and eliminate the need for more frequent vigorous cleanings. In most
environments, a thorough cleaning will be needed every two to three years. When it's time for a thorough
cleaning, Sunbrella fabrics can be cleaned while still installed on your boat. It is important to observe the
following:
Brush off loose dirt.
Hose down.
Prepare a cleaning mixture of water and mild soap (Ivory Snow, Dreft or Woolite - no
detergents). Water should be cold to lukewarm. Never more than 100 degrees.
Use a soft bristle brush to clean.
Allow soap to soak in.
Rinse thoroughly.
Air dry. Never apply heat to Sunbrella fabrics.
If stubborn stains persist, you can use a diluted chlorine bleach/soap mixture for spot cleaning of mildew, roof run-
off or other similar stains. Prepare a special cleaning mixture:
Four ounces (half cup) of chlorine bleach.
Two ounces (one-fourth cup) of mild soap.
One gallon of water.
Clean with soft bristle brush.
Allow mixture to soak for up to 20 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly.
Air dry.
Repeat if necessary.
Re-treating the Fabric - Sunbrella fabrics are treated with a fluorocarbon finish to enhance water repellency. This
finish is designed to last for several years, but must be replenished after a thorough cleaning. Based on test
results, Glen Raven recommends
303 High Tech Fabric Guard™ as the preferred re-treatment product for
Sunbrella fabrics. Fabrics should be retreated after thorough cleaning or after five years of use. Check with your
local Sunbrella dealer or distributor for additional information.

Isinglass (Windscreen Material)
Maintenance means "rinsing" with cold water and trying not to rub the dirt into the Isinglass. Never "Dry" dust the
Isinglass panels. Any rubbing acts like sandpaper to plastic so keep rubbing to a minimum. Always use lots of
cold water and a very very soft cloth when rubbing is required. Do not use paper towels or Terri-cloth towels. Try
not to use any cleaning solutions, as most will cause yellowing and cracking.
When you have to store the panels of your windscreen and curtain package, always “roll up” the material to
prevent creases.
Do not fold the Isinglass as this will permanently damage the Isinglass material. Do not roll up
the panels when wet, as the material will turn white or fog up. Dry the panels off first using a very very soft cloth
before rolling them up. A few hours in the sun will get rid of the whiteness or fogginess in most cases.
Vinyl
Exterior Vinyl – Upholstered Seats and Cockpit Bolsters
Vinyl requires periodic cleaning to maintain its neat appearance and to prevent the build-up of dirt and
contaminants that may permanently stain and reduce the life of the vinyl if they are not removed. The frequency
of cleaning depends on the amount of use and on environmental conditions to which the vinyl is subjected. The
procedures used for cleaning are dependent upon the end use circumstances.
For normal cleaning, most stains can be cleaned using warm soapy water and a clear water rinse. Moderate
scrubbing with a medium bristle brush will help to loosen soiling material from the depressions of embossed
