Do you want to know if Ultramar Power Cleaner is suitable for your outdoor fabric? Here you can read exactly which materials you can treat safely and when extra care is needed.
What types of outdoor fabric is Power Cleaner suitable for?
Short answer: Ultramar Power Cleaner is suitable for most synthetic and cotton outdoor fabrics when there are deeply embedded stains or heavy contamination.
You use Power Cleaner for:
- deeply embedded stains
- stubborn contamination
- difficult-to-remove discoloration
- heavy contamination from long-term outdoor exposure
The product is Step 2 in the Ultramar three-step maintenance process.
Can I use Power Cleaner on synthetic fabric?
Yes. Power Cleaner is suitable for synthetic fabrics such as polyester, acrylic and similar outdoor materials.
For example:
- boat covers and sprayhoods
- polyester tents
- awnings
- shade sails
- outdoor cushions and covers
Always apply the product to dry fabric and test first on an inconspicuous area if you are unsure.
Is Power Cleaner suitable for cotton and canvas?
Yes, but with care.
Power Cleaner can be used on cotton and canvas when there are stubborn stains. Always test first on a small, hidden area. Some cotton fabrics may show slight lightening.
Always rinse thoroughly with clean water after treatment.
Can I use Power Cleaner on fabric convertible tops?
Yes. Power Cleaner is suitable for fabric convertible roofs with deeply embedded stains or heavily soiled areas.
Important: First clean the entire roof with Sprayhood & Tent Shampoo (Step 1 – Cleaning). Then treat only the problem areas with Power Cleaner (Step 2 – Stain Removal). Let the roof dry completely before applying protection.
Is Power Cleaner suitable for polyester tent fabric?
Yes. Polyester tent fabric can be treated with Power Cleaner when heavy or older contamination remains after normal cleaning.
Do not use it as a standard cleaner, but specifically for stains that remain after Step 1.
Can I use Power Cleaner on awnings and shade cloths?
Yes, as long as they are textile awnings or shade cloths made from synthetic material or cotton.
Treat only the heavily soiled areas and rinse thoroughly afterwards. Allow the material to dry completely before applying protection if needed.
Is Power Cleaner suitable for outdoor cushions and covers?
Yes, when normal cleaning is not enough.
Power Cleaner is suitable for textile outdoor cushions and covers with stubborn contamination. It is not suitable for leather or non-textile materials.
Can I use Power Cleaner on hard surfaces or accessories?
Power Cleaner can be used on certain plastic parts and outdoor accessories with heavy contamination.
Do not use on:
- chrome
- polished aluminium
- sensitive metal surfaces
If the product comes into contact with these materials, wipe it off immediately with a damp cloth.
Always determine the material first
Before using Power Cleaner, check:
- Is it synthetic fabric?
- Is it cotton or canvas?
- Are there plastic windows? (Use dedicated Ultramar plastic window products for those.)
Power Cleaner is intended for textile materials only.
In short
Ultramar Power Cleaner is suitable for synthetic fabrics, polyester tents, cotton and canvas (after testing), fabric convertible tops, awnings and outdoor cushions when there are deeply embedded stains or heavy contamination.
Use it specifically for stubborn stains, not as a full surface cleaner. Always follow the Ultramar three-step process: cleaning, stain removal, and protection.
Ultramar helps consumers clean, maintain and protect boat covers, tents, convertible roofs, plastic windows and other outdoor materials themselves, using PFAS-free maintenance products that are easy to use at home and based on a proven three-step maintenance process.
