Awning care starts with regular cleanings.

• Treat stains as soon as they appear if possible. Dirt, bird droppings and any other stains that appear on your awnings will be easier to clean if you treat them right away.
• Regularly brush dirt and debris off of your awnings. This can be accomplished with a stiff brush or a good broom.
• Wash your awnings anytime you notice a buildup of dirt. If left in place, this dirt can lead to bad mildew.
• When washing your awnings use only water, mild soap and a brush. If your awnings came with a manual, consult it to see if they recommend a particular cleaning solution.
• Use only cold or lukewarm water to clean your awnings. Air dry your awnings after washing; heat may cause awnings to shrink.
• For easy cleaning, leave your awnings on their frames. After a vigorous cleaning, you may need to treat them with fabric guard. Consult your owner’s manual to see what product is recommended.
• In between deep cleanings, it’s a good idea to periodically rinse awnings with clear water.
• If you live in a tropical environment, you’ll need to clean your awnings more frequently. Develop a cleaning schedule based on the requirements of your locale.
• These tips are also applicable to patio awnings.
