Simple 3-Step Cleaning
1
Pre-wash Preparation
Remove loose dirt and debris from the canopy fabric. Shake off any leaves or dust before washing.
2
Gentle Hand Wash
Use mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the fabric with a soft brush to remove stains.
3
Air Dry Completely
Rinse thoroughly and hang to air dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Fasten all buckles, straps, and drawcords securely.
• Proper fastening helps reduce shifting or lifting in windy conditions.
• Check the cover before strong wind or severe weather.
• Place the cover on a clean, dry surface before folding.
• Fold it neatly into a compact shape.
• Make sure the cover is completely dry before storage.
• Store indoors or in a clean, dry storage bag.
- Use an inflatable air bag to prevent water from gathering in any sags in your cover.
- When covers sag, they create pockets where water can pool and begin to leak through.
- Air bags fill the low points of your cover and promote water run off so your covers can perform as intended.
- Simply inflate the air bags with an electric air pump, place them under the cover as needed and experience total protection.
• Choose a support size and shape that suits your furniture.
• Position it beneath areas where the cover tends to sag.
• Larger furniture may require more than one support point.
• Inflate only enough to create a gentle slope for better drainage.
