Winterizing Your Sunbrella Canvas: Expert Tips to Keep Your Bimini Tops & Covers Looking New

Hey boaters! As winter approaches, don't let your Sunbrella canvas (bimini tops, covers, and more) fall victim to mildew, fading, or damage during storage. Follow these simple steps from Sunbrella experts to keep it looking sharp and lasting longer.

As winter approaches, properly preparing your Sunbrella canvas products ensures they remain in top condition for next season. Start by thoroughly cleaning all canvas covers, bimini tops, and cushions with mild soap and water, using a soft brush to remove dirt, salt, and grime. Avoid harsh detergents or pressure washers, which can damage the fabric. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely to prevent mold and mildew.

Inspect for tears or loose stitching, and repair promptly to avoid further damage. Apply a fabric protectant designed for Sunbrella to maintain water repellency and UV resistance. Store canvas items in a dry, well-ventilated area, ideally in breathable storage bags, to protect them from moisture and pests. Avoid folding or creasing tightly to preserve the fabric’s shape. With proper care, your Sunbrella products will stay vibrant and durable for years to come!
