Solar shade fabric may be cleaned by occasional vacuuming. For stained shades, brush the fabric with a mild detergent and thoroughly rinse. Allow the shade to dry completely before raising. Do NOT completely immerse the fabric. If commercial spot cleaners or diluted bleach mixtures are used, they must first be tested and allowed to dry on an inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility.
