 We use vinyl for upholstery, awnings, signs, tents, clothing and more. Vinyl is very much a part of our daily lives. Understanding how to properly care for and clean your vinyl fabrics is the key to not only make sure you enjoy your vinyl coated fabric product to the fullest, but also to make it last for years to come.

 First thing is understand the characteristics of vinyl fabrics:
  • It's resistant to moisture and humidity.
  • It's flexible in what colors and products it can be made into.
  • The material is strong and long lasting.

When cleaning vinyl, remember to do the following:

  • Avoid harsh cleaning products and chemicals.
  • Use water and mild soap.
  • If you have vinyl furniture, you can vacuum it.
  • Use soft, non-abrasive cloths to wipe down the material.
  • With tough stains, try using a blend of 10% bleach and 90% water. (Always test the solution in an area that isn't easily visible first to make sure it's working properly.)
  • make sure you have wiped down your vinyl fabric product and that it is dry before storage or use.

Vinyl fabric is a perfect choice textile for upholstery, boat coverings, awnings, tents and more. The flexible and durable qualities of your vinyl fabric make it the best choice for all your specialty fabric product needs.

Color and Autism

Throughout my career I ’ ve helped countless frustrated parents of autistic children to make empowering color choices for their kids ’ environments. My experiences of getting to know these families inspired me to research the effect of color on people with ASD and to offer solutions for creating colorfully harmonious environments. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 88 children has been identified with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As more and more children are diagnosed, it ’ s imperative that parents and design professionals be aware of the specific requirements for this growing population. Special consideration needs to be given when selecting colors, finishes, lighting and storage. Does your child avoid a certain room in the house or an area of his classroom? The culprit may simpler than you think. Your child may be avoiding these areas because they ’ re too colorfully decorated. ASD children and adults tend to have heightened sen

1.    What was your initial vision for Enduratex? Has Enduratex become what you envisioned it would, or has the vision changed with time? Jeff: My original vision for Enduratex was to build it as a ‘household name’ in the markets we served. We were known as CGPC back then and I made it a point to make sure that we got the brand Enduratex out there and that over time, we became known as Enduratex. People began to call us Enduratex and I recognized the need to promote that name. I think we have accomplished a tremendous job in re-branding ourselves and making the brand name of ENDURATEX one that is known and respected. 2.    What qualities define a ‘dream team’? What constitutes a strong team and how have you tried to develop your team into a ‘dream team’? Jeff: The qualities of a dream team: persistence, tenacity, a winner takes all attitude and a servants heart- somebody who is willing to do all the work without taking any of the glory. I think I’ve tried
