Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components, Mineral oil respiratory risk (inhalation), Surface buildup and degradation over time and Flammability on the Pledge and not on the Sunbrella.
- We flag Durable water repellent (DWR) treatment composition and Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing on the Sunbrella and not on the Pledge.
- The Pledge is mineral oil, argan oil blend where the Sunbrella is Sunbrella acrylic fabric with DWR treatment, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Pledge is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Sunbrella grade, at 42% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
