Why choose FibreGuard Outdoor fabrics?

FibreGuard Outdoor is a high-quality, performance fabric designed specifically for outdoor use, and it stands out from the crowd in several unique ways.

One of the key benefits of all FibreGuard fabric ranges, including FibreGuard Outdoor, is their easy cleanability. This is where our top-notch stain-free technology comes in. Thanks to this innovation, our furniture fabrics resist a wide variety of stains, ranging from coffee and wine to mud and ink. We’ll explore how this works later in this article.

FibreGuard Outdoor collections feature solution-dyed polyolefin yarns, offering optimal protecting against fading and sun damage. Thanks to this, they can last years without losing their unique properties, like colourfastness and durability.

Finally, they’re ready even for the most humid environments. FibreGuard Outdoor’s anti-microbial and anti-bacterial attributes combat the growth of mould and mildew, as well as the spread of bacteria and germs. Additionally, our fabrics will resist bad odours, commonly found in environments that are more humid.

Caring for your FibreGuard Outdoor furniture fabrics

Here are some more tips to keep your FibreGuard Outdoor fabrics looking their best:

1. Regular Cleaning: Regularly brush off any loose dirt before it becomes embedded in the fabric. Wipe up spills as soon as they occur.
2. Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a mild white bar of soap. Apply the soap and more water to the stain, then gently blot (don’t rub) with a clean, dry microfibre cloth.
3. Avoid Bleach: While FibreGuard Outdoor fabrics are durable, they’re not designed to withstand bleach. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals on your fabrics.
4. Air Dry: After cleaning, let your fabrics air dry. Avoid using heat or tumble drying as it can damage the fabric.
5. Cover or Store: If possible, cover your outdoor furniture when not in use or store it in a dry, cool place during harsh weather conditions.

FibreGuard Outdoor upholstery meets our stain-free technology

FibreGuard’s stain-free technology is a standout feature that sets it apart from other furniture fabric brands, and especially in the outdoor fabric market. But what does it mean?

Firstly, the cleanability promise of our collections is inherent: unlike other fabrics that rely on topical treatments or sprays, our cleanability properties are built in at the yarn level. This is how we can 100% guarantee that our fabrics provide 360° protection against all accidental household stains.

Because our stain free technology is inherent, it also means that the effect is permanent. The special technology coats the yarn in the finishing process, meaning that you can clean the fabric over and over without the stain resistance washing away.

Both of these features combine to ensure that our fabrics are always easy to clean: yes, even our FibreGuard Outdoor range. Dirt and even mildew is easily cleanable, helping your outdoor fabrics maintain their fresh, new look.

What kinds of outdoor-specific stains are covered by our stain free technology?

Resistant to Sunscreen and Sun Oils: Both sunscreens and oils can be easily cleaned in exactly the same four steps as you would use t clean all FibreGuard fabrics. The fabrics remain easy to clean, wash after wash, stain after stain, with no topical spray treatment needed.

Humidity-ready: FibreGuard Outdoor’s anti-microbial and anti-bacterial attributes combat the growth of mould and mildew, as well as the spread of bacteria and germs. Additionally, our fabrics will resist bad odours, commonly found in environments that are more humid.
