  • Care and Maintenance

    Coolaroo fabrics are designed for simple care that keeps your purchase looking fresh over time. Simply rinse with a garden hose to remove dust and pollen. Use a solution of mild detergent and water for more stubborn spots. Apply the solution with a sponge or a very soft brush. Let the solution stand on the fabric for 10 minutes and then rinse thoroughly with water from your garden hose. The naturally mildew-resistant fabric dries quickly and maintains its color integrity even with regular cleaning. When not in use, secure or store away in a cool, dry place to extend the life of your investment.
