How can I clean a sunshade?

Cleaning your sunshade yourself is easy with these user instructions and recommended products. Enjoy a nice clean sunshade without green build-up, fungus and rain streaks.

Cleaning your sunshade is important

  • Grime on your sun protection attracts more grime and moisture.
  • Your sun protection gets increasingly grimeier.
  • Green build-up and algae attach in turn to a dirty damp sunshade.
  • So make sure that grime has no chance. Clean in time.
  • Impregnate the fabric with a strong impregnating agent.
  • This means that grime attaches less quickly to the sunshade fabric.
  • This way you extend the lifespan of your expensive sunshade.
