Fabric Care & Cleaning
One of the best ways to keep the fabrics looking good and to delay the need
for deep or vigorous cleanings is to hose the cover off on a monthly basis with
clear water. This practice will help prevent dirt from becoming deeply embedded
in the fabric and eliminate the need for more frequent vigorous cleanings. In
most environments, a thorough cleaning will be needed every two to three years.
When it's time for a thorough cleaning, Grill Wrap fabrics can be cleaned while
still on the grill or they can be removed for cleaning in a washing machine.
If you are cleaning the cover while still on the grill, follow these simple
steps:
 | Brush off loose dirt. |
 | Hose down. |
 | Prepare a cleaning mixture of water and
mild, natural soap (no detergents). |
 | Use a soft bristle brush to clean. |
 | Allow soap to soak in. |
 | Rinse thoroughly. |
 | Air dry. |
If stubborn stains persist, you can use a diluted chlorine bleach/soap
mixture for spot cleaning of mildew, roof run-off and other similar stains.
Prepare a special cleaning mixture:
 | Four ounces (half cup) of chlorine bleach. |
 | Two ounces (one-fourth cup) of natural soap. |
 | One gallon of water. |
 | Clean with soft bristle brush. |
 | Allow mixture to soak for up to 20 minutes. |
 | Rinse thoroughly. |
 | Air dry. |
 | Repeat if necessary.
|
When cleaning Grill Wrap fabrics, it is important to observe the following:
 | Always use a natural soap. Never detergent. |
 | Water should be cold to lukewarm. Never more than 100 degrees. |
 | Air dry only. Never apply heat to Deck-Mate®, Stamoid® or Sunbrella®
fabrics. |
For a washing machine, these steps should be followed:
 | Use only natural soaps. No detergent. |
 | Wash and rinse in cold water. |
 | Air dry. Never put the fabrics in your dryer. |
After a thorough cleaning, Deck-Mate® & Sunbrella® fabrics should be
treated to re-establish water repellency. Deck-Mate® & Sunbrella® fabrics
are treated with fluorocarbon-based water repellency chemicals during
manufacturing, and it is recommended that a fluorocarbon product be used for
retreatment.
