Outdoor Restaurant Furniture Fabrics and Maintenance
Woven Nylon, Resin, and Performance Weave (HDPE)
- Woven Nylon, Resin, and Performance Weave are made of HDPE, high-density polyethylene, which is a recycled plastic that provides a durable and attractive alternative to wood.
- HDPE will not rot, peel, blister or weather.
- It is naturally stain resistant and cleans with soap and water.
- GAR adds ultra-violet stabilized coloring agents during formulation, so the HDPE never needs painting and resists fading.
- HDPE is made of 90 percent recycled milk and juice containers. Instead of sending these petroleum-based “Number 2” plastics to the landfill, GAR reuses them in high-quality furniture that will last a lifetime.
Clean the HDPE Weave with mild soap and water, hose to rinse.

Sunbrella® Textile Care and Cleaning
Performance moisture-resistant fabrics are extremely easy to keep clean and beautiful. Proper maintenance; vacuuming regularly and rotating seat cushions frequently, keeps your furniture looking good and promotes long fabric life.
General Cleaning Methods:
Brush off dirt before it becomes imbedded in the fabric, wipe up spills as soon as they occur, and spot-clean by sponging cushions with mild soap and warm water.
Hand-washing:
Soak fabric in a solution of ¼-cup mild soap per gallon of lukewarm water. Use a sponge or a soft bristle brush as necessary. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Hang and allow to air-dry. These fabrics usually air-dry very quickly.
Machine-washing:
Remove cushions from cushion covers. Machine-wash fabric in cold water with mild laundry soap, or use 7 parts bleach to 3 parts cold water, hang and allow to air-dry.
Spot-cleaning Upholstered Pieces:
Apply a light mist of mild soap and water using a spray bottle. Remove the stain with a sponge or a very soft bristle brush. Rinse with clean water and air-dry, blotting or wet-vacuuming excess water. Repeat until all soap residue is removed.
