How to Clean - Sunbrella Fabrics
Caring for your Sunbrella fabrics is easy! Already resistant to stains, spills and fading, come learn how to get even more out of your Sunbrella fabric.
I followed those cleaning tips last year, they work. I found mixing both the Woolite AND a little bleach together on ONE mix did it best. I have a light tan dodger, much like your light gray.
I filled a large plastic garbage can with water and dumped some bleach in it. Stuffed my main cover in and used a 2x2 to agitate periodically. Left it in approx 24 hrs. Spread it out on the driveway and gave the problem areas a good stiff brushing and put back in the can For awhile. After several rinses, spread it out to dry. Worked quite well..
303 products are great!
The green is best prevented by regular water repellent treatment. That helps it dry more quickly. Treatment with a quaternary amine silicone compound, such as Goldshield, is also very helpful. Even benzalkonium chloride helps for a few months.

try hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar 50/50 mix this mix is used on spa covers to remove algee and mold and not as hash as bleach
