  • All of our fabrics are made for outdoor use unless otherwise specified
  • All fabrics are liquid and stain resistant
  • It is ok that your fabrics and cushions get wet
  • Every fabric is fade, mildew, and rot resistant
  • There is no need to treat your cushions with protectants
  • Fabrics are included in cushion price shown
  • To prolong the life of the fabric store cushions and umbrellas indoors during winter or inclement weather
  • To prolong the life of your cushions, spread a towel over the cushion when using baby oil, suntan lotions or oils. These products tend to breakdown the U.V. factor in the fabric and can cause premature fading.
  • Spilling food or drink onto your cushion can cause bacteria to be trapped between fibers and threads, causing mold to grow. Periodically clean your cushions with mild soap and water to safeguard against this. Fabric itself does not support mold, but the bacteria can become trapped between weaves.
  • The type of weave, the fibers used in the fabric as well as hours of U.V. protection are a few things that determine the cost of each fabric. Fabrics are put into grades based on price.
