3. Clean thoroughly and regularly.
We recommend that you hose off your awning every month. This prevents dirt from building up and settling in. You can typically perform cleanings (light or thorough) while the awning is still on the frame unless a stubborn stain necessitates removal.
To thoroughly clean your awning, you should first hose off the fabric. Then, combine water with dish soap and use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the fabric. Rinse the soap solution off, and then let the fabric air dry.
Heavy mildew stains might require special cleaning. Do not hesitate to call an industry professional if necessary.
