InsideOut Performance Fabrics®

InsideOut Performance Fabrics® are another great choice for bleach-cleanable, made in the USA fabrics that can be used both outdoors or indoors. InsideOut Performance Fabrics® can also be cleaned with a bleach solution without damage or discoloration. InsideOut is liquid resistant, fade resistant, quick dry, anti-mildew, eco-friendly, and PFC free.

How to Spot Clean with Bleach: 

  1. Remove any loose debris and blot the stain
  2. Prepare a bleach-based cleaning solution: Bleach should be diluted with water on a 1:4 ratio
  3. Apply the bleach-based cleaning solution using a misting spray bottle and allow for the solution to soak into fabric
  4. Work the solution into the affected area by lightly scrubbing the area with a sponge or soft bristle brush. Make sure to work from the outside of the stain inward so as not to spread the stain and rinse your sponge or brush frequently
  5. Blot and thoroughly rinse fabric with water until the stain is cleaned, making sure all bleach is rinsed off of the surface of the fabric
  6. Allow fabric to air dry

Indoor/Outdoor Fabrics & Vinyl 

F31 Performance Colors, F32 Performance Neutrals, and S64 Outdoor Performance have a beautiful offering of bleach-cleanable neutrals and hues. You can also find bleach-cleanable vinyls in book F21 Value Vinyl and card V02 Classic Vinyl.
