Sunbrella success

[Mikey P]

usually this stuff is outside and tortured before we cleaners ever see it.

This was three years old and in dire need of FPA..



which hopefully we'll be applying soon when we go back to do all the wool wtw

Isn't Sunbrella just Polyester?
Why is it sometimes difficult to clean--- especially when Plants "cum" all over it?
Could it be the sun bakes the soil into the fabric?
going High Ph seems to help-- but a lot of work for Polyester!
I doubt the cushions would be worth the high cost of FPA-- but more power to you if they buy it.

 

[Mikey P]

they paid a fortune for it so they say.

Sure didn't act like a poly.

Looking at the texture of that fabric-- I think That's my favorite to clean-- as you demonstrated nicely.

With all do respect @Mikey P , you can't upload a photo from @Mark Saiger or @Desk Jockey and call it your own..... We both know you use the clear head SS.......

Yes, most customers with Sunbrella think it's indestructible..... Till it starts soiling, fading and wearing.......

 

[Mikey P]

I have four SSUPs..

One is still blue

 

[Papa John]

I checked the sunbrella website. It's 100% solution dyed acrylic. Site said fabric doesn't support mold, however mold can grow in the soil in n on the cushions. Site said we can even use Bleach on the fabric.. it's also OK to go Hi-PH on the stuff-- good to know in the future.

Don't believe everything you read JohnJohn... I've seen where tenants in upper scale vacation rentals put sunbrella in a washing machine and fade the shit out of it... It's a pretty durable fabric, but use caution as always... If you need to use bleach on it, it's probably best to tell them to toss it...

That good advise.. I'd only go that extreme if it was last ditch effort to save from trash.. advising custy b4 hand.

Good picture to show overall soiling due to airborne dirt. Thanks, Mikey.

 

[Old Coastie]

That looks gratifying.

I thought acrylic was a brittle fiber.

 

[Mikey P]

I think their interiour offerings are quite varied fiberwise.

Looks to me more like body borne dirt.
