Friends:This is information from sunbrella.
Re-treating the fabric
As part of the finishing process, Sunbrella fabrics are treated with a
fluorocarbon finish, which enhances 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
GuardT 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 more information.
Applying 303 High Tech Fabric GuardT
303 should be applied to Sunbrella fabrics after each thorough cleaning,
which typically removes the original fluorocarbon finish and reduces the
fabric's water resistance. After cleaning the fabric, allow it to air dry
completely and then apply 303 in a thin, even coat. After allowing the first
coat of 303 to air dry, apply a second thin, even coating of 303. Two light
coatings are more effective in restoring fabric water resistance than a
single heavy coating. The 15-ounce aerosol provides coverage of up to 50
square feet of lightweight fabric.
Please let us know if you need anything else!
