Is this fabric really safe for outdoor furniture?

Yes. It is woven from 100% Sunbrella acrylic, the same fiber family Sunbrella uses for its outdoor marine and patio fabrics. It resists UV fading, repels water and resists mildew.

Can I clean it with bleach?

Sunbrella acrylic is bleach cleanable, so diluted bleach handles mildew and stubborn stains that would damage cotton or polyester prints. Rinse well afterward.

How wide is it, and how much do I need?

It comes 54 inches wide and is sold by the yard. Measure each cushion or panel, add for pattern matching on the patchwork repeat, and round up.

Does it work for indoor upholstery too?

Yes. It is rated for indoor and outdoor use, so it suits accent chairs, sofas and pillows as well as patio seating. Expect a slightly firmer, drier hand than cotton.

Should I order a sample first?

Yes. The olive, clay pink, gray and cream palette reads differently in person and under indoor versus outdoor light, so check a swatch against your room before committing to yardage.

How does it compare with Sunbrella solids?

Same acrylic performance and cleaning, but the patchwork print hides stains and wear better than a solid and gives a stronger graphic look. Solids are easier to pair with patterned pillows.
