Why is Outdura™better than other fabrics?
Outdura™ is 100% solution-dyed acrylic. In the Solution-Dyed Process, the pigment is added during the fiber production. These fibers are spun into a yarn resulting in permeated color throughout the fabric (like a carrot). In conventional dyeing process, the pigment is applied after the fabric is made. Color is not an integral part of the fabric, making the fabric more prone to fading (like a radish).

Is Outdura™ fabric waterproof?
Outdura™ is not waterproof; it is water-repellent. During the finishing process, a water-repellent finish is applied to the fabric. Normal wear and usage, as well as cleaning of the fabric, will reduce the effectiveness of this finish. If water-repellency becomes a factor after repeated normal use and cleaning, a specialty product may be used to retreat your Outdura™ fabric. Water-repellency treatments are available for purchase at local awning and marine shops.

Do Outdura™ fabrics provide UV protection?
Yes. Depending on color, Outdura™ fabrics have been tested and proven to provide up to 98% UV protection from the harmful effects of the sun. Due to depth of color, darker fabrics may afford more protection than lighter fabrics. This protection is built into the fabric, and will not lessen with usage and/or exposure of the fabric to sun.

Will Outdura™ fabric mildew?
If kept clean, Outdura™ fabrics will not mildew. Based on the characteristics of acrylic fiber, the weave will not support the growth of mildew, whereas a natural fiber will. However, mildew can and will grow on any surface that is dirty, so we recommend keeping your Outdura™ fabric clean.

How often should Outdura™ fabric be cleaned?
Outdura™ fabric should be cleaned regularly to prevent excessive dirt from accumulating.

To Spot Clean: Simply brush off any loose dirt. Use a solution of lukewarm water (not exceeding 100 degrees F) and a mild natural soap such as Lux™ or Ivory™. Rinse thoroughly to remove excess soap and air dry. DO NOT USE DETERGENTS.

For removable covers: Zip all cushion covers. Machine wash in cold water with a mild soap (Lux™ or Ivory™) or bleach on Gentle Cycle, then AIR DRY. DO NOT USE DETERGENTS OR PUT IN DRYER.
