Characteristics

Polyester is a durable, synthetic fabric commonly used in both indoor and outdoor settings. Known for its resistance to stretching, wrinkling, and fading, polyester is quick-drying and relatively low-maintenance when properly cared for.

Common Issues or Risks

Prolonged exposure to moisture, harsh chemicals, or high heat may affect the fabric's appearance and performance. Sunscreens, oils, and acidic spills can stain or discolour the surface. Improper storage may lead to odour or mildew development.

Preventative Care

Brush off loose dirt and debris regularly with a soft cloth or vacuum. Use furniture covers during harsh weather or extended storage periods. Avoid prolonged contact with standing water, and store cushions undercover or indoors when not in use.

Cleaning Instructions

For light cleaning, use a mild soap and warm water solution. Gently scrub with a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse thoroughly and air dry. For machine-washable covers, wash in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle and air dry or tumble dry on low. If ironing is required, use a low heat setting.

Cautions / What to Avoid

Do not use bleach, strong chemicals, or high heat, as these may damage the fibres or fade the colour. Avoid storing fabric when damp, and keep away from tanning oils, sunscreens, or acidic spills to prevent staining or surface damage.
