Outdoor Fabric Cleaning
Outdoor Fabric & Cushion Cleaning: Seattle, Bellevue & the Eastside
Professional cleaning for Sunbrella™ cushions, patio umbrellas, outdoor rugs, boat covers and marine canvas. Drop-off at our Seattle or Bellevue plant, or schedule pickup and delivery throughout the Eastside.
Keeping Up Appearances While Coping with Mother Nature
Outdoor furniture and fabrics take a beating in the Pacific Northwest. D.A. Burns provides professional outdoor cushion cleaning and outdoor furniture cleaning service for homeowners, boaters, property managers and hospitality spaces that want their outdoor furnishings cleaned with expert care. We clean patio cushions, outdoor upholstery, umbrellas, rugs, marine canvas and more, with convenient drop-off as well as pickup and delivery throughout Seattle, Bellevue and the Eastside.
Seattle-area weather creates challenges that outdoor fabrics in drier climates simply do not face. Wet winters, damp storage and lingering shade lead to moss, algae, mildew and deeply embedded soil that are difficult to remove safely at home. DIY cleaning can damage fibers, cause shrinkage or affect warranty coverage. Professional care protects your investment.

Our Process
Four Steps to Refreshed Outdoor Fabrics
Step 1 — Inspect
Each item is evaluated for fabric type, construction, soil level, staining and mildew before cleaning begins, so we choose the safest method.
Step 2 — Clean
Outdoor fabric cleaning is tailored to the textile — Sunbrella acrylic, cotton canvas or synthetic marine fabric — never one-size-fits-all.
Step 3 — Protect
Many outdoor textiles benefit from reapplication of an appropriate protectant to help restore water and stain resistance.
Step 4 — Return
Drop-off turnaround is typically 1–2 weeks. Pickup, delivery and on-location service available throughout Seattle and the Eastside.

Know Your Fabric — Clean it Right
Cotton & Linen Canvas
Natural fiber outdoor fabrics can be beautiful, but they require careful handling. Cotton and linen canvas are more vulnerable to fading, shrinkage and mildew when exposed to moisture and inconsistent drying conditions. Waterproofing diminishes over time, and harsh bleach treatments may weaken fibers, alter color or leave materials looking uneven.
Synthetic Fabrics — Acrylic, Polyester & Nylon
Many outdoor furniture fabrics are synthetic and designed to resist sun better than natural fibers, but that does not mean they are maintenance-free. Dirt, algae and mildew often build up on surface soil rather than in the fibers, which is why regular cleaning matters. Bleach can cause yellowing, and protective finishes may need reapplication. Sunbrella is one well-known example among many we service.
What Makes Outdoor Fabric Care Different
Outdoor fabrics are engineered differently from indoor textiles. Many are UV-stabilized, but that protection still needs to be respected during cleaning and repair. Using the wrong protectant can create problems — and may even affect a manufacturer's warranty. D.A. Burns works with premium fabrics every day and maintains relationships with manufacturers, including using UV-stabilized thread for Sunbrella binding.

Seasonal Care
Spring Cleaning for Seattle Outdoor Fabrics
Spring is when many Seattle homeowners discover what winter has left behind. Cushions pulled from garages, decks and storage bins may show mildew, green staining or embedded grime from months of moisture and inactivity.
If you have wondered how to remove algae from outdoor fabric, the safest answer is to start early, before staining becomes more permanent and before aggressive DIY methods do more harm than good. Cleaning before peak UV exposure also prevents staining from being baked in.
Professional outdoor fabric cleaning Seattle homeowners can rely on helps restore patio furnishings for the season ahead, while fall cleaning and storage prep make next spring much easier.
Fabric Protector
Restore Water & Stain Resistance
After cleaning, we can reapply manufacturer-appropriate protectant to Sunbrella, outdoor acrylic, marine canvas and patio umbrellas — helping restore the water-repellent, stain-resistant performance that wears down over time.
Off-Season Service
Winter Storage Service
D.A. Burns offers a clean-and-store option for customers who want to protect outdoor fabrics during the off-season. In the fall we take in cushions, pillows, outdoor rugs, umbrellas and other removable outdoor textiles before winter sets in. If you find yourself with wet belongings after the first rainy weekend, we're happy to dry them out at our facility before we clean and store them.
We clean each item, apply protectant, wrap them, and store them in our climate-controlled facility over the winter. When the weather turns nice again in the spring, your items will be ready to go.
Scheduling is simple through our front office team, with convenient drop-off available at our Seattle and Bellevue locations. For larger orders, ask about pickup and delivery throughout Seattle, Bellevue and the Eastside.

"We've used D.A. Burns for several years to clean and store our outdoor cushions, and they've been consistently excellent. This year we added pickup and delivery, and everything arrived exactly as expected, clean, fresh, and right on time. Such a convenient, reliable service. We're so glad this exists and will definitely continue using them for years to come."

"Have used the patio cushion cleaning/water proofing services for years (this time they store 15 items) — love being able to take them in in the Fall and have them cleaned and stored for pickup in April."

"This is my first season using DA Burns for cleaning. It started with a promotional email for outdoor cushion cleaning. My cushions had seen many seasons of pollen. What I gained in not doing the labor and not sitting on grimy cushions is very nice. They are extremely professional and timely."
