The synthetic cord fabric should be used indoors and in covered outdoors conditions. To extend the life of the product, it is best to protect it from the sun by using our custom covers or by keeping it under the shade when not in use. Cleaning of the fabric can be done with a damp cloth and by applying silicone with UV protection, like Simoniz UV3. In case dust is trapped between the weave, we suggest an in-depth cleaning with a pressurized water gun.
