Weather-shield Care & Cleaning

Posted On 14 March 2022

Weather-shield is a solution dyed polyester fabric designed to be flexible and easy for manufacturers to use. Its urethane coating enhances the stability of the weave and allows for greater water resistance, while also minimizing shrinkage and stretching. Weather-shield features a high UV, water and mold and mildew resistance and has excellent tear and abrasion resistance.

CARE & CLEANING.
Weather Shield is designed to be easy to maintain. It can be washed, or brushed off and rinsed. Proper care and cleaning is important to the life of all fabrics.

FOR NORMAL CARE AND CLEANING.

• Add 2 ounces of mild soap such as dishwashing liquid to 1 gallon of lukewarm water.
• Clean the fabric with a “soft bristle brush.”
• Rinse thoroughly with cold water and air dry.

FOR STUBBORN STAINS.

• Add maximum 1 cup of bleach to one 1 gallon of water.
• Spray on lightly to the fabric face (non-coated side). Do not soak fabric.
• Prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals can damage the coating.
• Rinse immediately. Do not leave on for more than 2 minutes.

Cleaning with harsh cleaners such as bleach will require a retreatment like 303 High Tech Fabric Guard for restoring water repellency.
