Woolite...it's a mild cleaner that will clean without removing any of the waterproofing or sunblocking characteristics of the Sunbrella. After cleaning, you can reapply the waterproofing stuff that comes in a spray can.

Frank, I tried money but the bills kept falling apart when they got wet.

I came across the following... http://www.boatus.com/boattech/Casey/22.htm
...and remembered the question coming up here. I thought it was useful to know what type of waterproofing to use and not use on Sunbrella and other acrylics.
