General Maintenance & Care Instructions

Outdoor Product Guidelines

One of the best ways to keep Ultrafabrics, LLC brand surfaces looking
great is to properly maintain them by cleaning regularly to prevent
excessive dirt from accumulating. Below is a general outline to help
you keep your quality Ultrafabrics brand products looking their best.

Use the General Maintenance and Care Instructions at left for
preserving the quality of your Outdoor Ultrafabrics brand product
as well. Remember:

Following these guidelines will help to extend the life of the fabric:
• Clean regularly with soap and water
• Wipe up spills as soon as they occur
®

• Lift most stains with an alcohol-based cleaner like Fantastik
• Disinfect using a 5:1 water/bleach solution*
• Thoroughly rinse all cleaning solution residue with water*
• Air dry*

• All Ultrafabrics outdoor products should be stored in a dry,
well ventilated area
• Ultrafabrics mildew resistant surfaces do not promote
mildew growth, however, mildew may grow on dirt and other
foreign substances that are not removed from the fabric
• The frequency of cleaning will vary greatly depending upon the
local outdoor environment in which the product is used
• Cushions should not remain wet or be covered, as this will
increase the chances of mildew growth occurring

* Recommended for stubborn stains and/or mildew

Upholstering Recommendations*
All of our outdoor products perform best when:
• Paired with an open cell, reticulated, quick drying foam and/or a waterproof, anti-mildew barrier between the fabric and foam
• Utilizing air vents and/or a mesh, open weave fabric bottom
* These recommendations allow for proper draining and quick drying.

Ballpoint Pen Removal Instructions
1.) Wipe the stain off with ethanol (rubbing alcohol). [If this is unsuccessful, proceed to step 2]
2.) Prepare a solution of 50% chlorinated bleach, 50% water.
3.) Place a thin tissue over the ink stain.
4.) Apply the chlorinated bleach solution. Be sure to not over-saturate the tissue.
5.) Cover tissue with polyethylene film (plastic wrap) to prevent the chlorinated bleach solution from drying.
6.) Check on stain repeatedly.
7.) Do not leave the chlorinated bleach solution on for more than 1 hour.
8.) When the stain looks almost gone, remove the tissue and rinse the stain with water.
9.) To neutralize the bleached area, place a tissue on the bleached area and apply 15% hydrogen peroxide solution.
10.) Leave on for 30 minutes, and remove the tissue.
1 1.) Remove the peroxide residue with water.
*While the foregoing instructions have proven to work in many cases, especially in which ink stains are addressed immediately,
not all ink stains can be removed in every situation.
