If I am using this on my outdoor furniture's cushion covers made with Sunbrella fabric, do i need to remove the interior cushions before spraying this on the covers?

I'm not sure, you could try spraying a little on a spot of the interior cushion to see if it has an adverse effect on it first. When I did my Sunbrella bimini I made sure the fabric got good and wetted, to the point where it was damp on the back side. Also one thing I now know, the product is only as good as the fabric it is going on. My bimini now initially repels water like a ducks back (since applying the 303), but with heavy enough rain, eventually it wets and soaks through. With bright sunshine above, I can see light coming through my bimini, it has been out in the sun for 7 years non stop. Overall still pleased with the results of the 303. I applied with a foam roller since it was a large area, with hard to reach spots.

.YES..It should be removed after rain also. The inner fabric should be allowed to dry to prevent mold and possible damage to the paint on your car.

well on my patio cushions it worked when first spray it on you need to wear gloves as its sticky plus the material darkens a little till it dryed then i t's back to normal colour also cover the ground for over spray if you over spray on product wipe with a damp sponge .

I didn't find that to be the case. I used it on sunbrella fabric and it worked well.

I havent tried it. When not in use i put them in plastic in garage. So my cushions still look new. I dont leave them out in the elements. Our seating area has overhang. The furniture itself is very lightweight. Moves easily when you sit down. Worldmarket etc has heavier more substancial.

Not this product for sure need a spar coating that is made for out side. I used rustoleum spar finish on my outside lounge chairs 5 years ago and still look great today and in the Florida sun and rain every day.

yes I have. but when u first start to spray it will shoot out a lot water,,,,so I would point toward the ground first to let that water release then u would have the steam.. and off course make sure it can have water on the upholstery,, because it is steam which is made from water,,,,so there will be some water in the steam

Yes. This Ray Bloc is terrific stuff. Have used it on my yellow outdoor umbrella and chair cushions. SPF is the sun protection factor. A high factor works best to prevent fading and sun damage on fabrics exposed to the sun. Hope this helps.

That is the application we bought ours for but I think you might have to put a new cover over the seat cushion as we did. We bought outdoor material that matched our decor and for further measure we scotchguarded it. putting a new cover eas very easy, it was a simple staple job. I hope this helps.

You probably can, although i haven't done that yet. There is a zipper on the side to remove. My cleaning lady tells me that the cushion covers are best cleaned outdoors. She said you can put a bleach solution and then hose them off and they come out looking very clean. Once again, i have not tried this but trust her to know that it will work :-) We love the set, hope you will too.

It's not necessary to use covers. I scotchgard my cushions every three months so if they get dusty or dirty, I can just hose them off.

The first time we removed the covers and simply put them in the washing machine. Since then we have protected them by spraying the covers with"Sunbrella" fabric guard. This product is a water repellent and now all we do is wipe them with a damp cloth.

Yes, rain will come through as this is a woven fabric. I have hanging plants on my pergola. Our patio furniture doesn't have cushions. We will replace this next season with the same product...first must get one more hurricane season out of it. Hope this helps.

I don't think so. There are cushions made with Sunbrella that would be better.

Another thought...I did spray the cushions with a water-repellent spray (for camping gear, etc.) so it's possible that is cutting down on volatiles from the cushions, if any. If you use those sprays though take care to not get any on the wicker

http://www.sunbrella.com/en_us/pdf/cleaning-sunbrella-upholstery-drapery.pdf APPLYING 303 FABRIC GUARD 303 should be applied to Sunbrella fabrics after each thorough cleaning, which typically removes the original finish and reduces the fabric's water repellency. * Clean Sunbrella fabric, using one of the cleaning methods. * Allow Sunbrella to completely air dry. * Apply 303 Fabric Guard in a well-ventilated area following instructions on the container. * Apply 303 in a thin, even coat and allow fabric to dry completely. * Apply a second thin, even coating of 303. (Two light coatings are more effective in restoring fabric water resistance than a single heavy coating.) * Note: A 15-ounce bottle provides coverage of up to 50 square feet of fabric

I have mine inside with a tarp on it. Here in Florida, we have such a mold and pollen problem, it's important to cover. When I received my set, I sprayed Scotchguard on all the cushions. I never got them wet, so I can't really say. However, if you're in a dry climate and it's under a roof of some sort, I would think you don't need to cover it.
