Every awning we install is built to last and designed to be very low maintenance. This helps keep your awning looking fresh for much longer, and keeps your outdoor area looking fabulous all year round. When it comes to cleaning your awning, we do have some easy-to-follow tips which should help keep your awning looking it’s best.
In order to take proper care of your awning it’s important that you follow these instructions carefully, and avoid causing any unwanted damage.
Before you start cleaning you should try your best to remove any debris that might of found it’s way on to your awning fabric or cassette. If you have a soft brush, you can use this to get rid of any twigs, bugs or dust that may have collected on your awning – flies can tend collect around awning cassette definitely so worth checking here.
Our highly resistant awning fabrics come with their own special weatherproof coating which helps to produce a unique self-cleaning effect. If however you do come across any marks or stains, these can be removed with a light detergent (5% soap) and lukewarm water.
While each fabric is impermeable to water, we do suggest choosing a warm dry day so that your fabric has time to dry. This is to prevent any dirt finding it’s way on to damp fabric, which if left over time can be breeding ground for fungi, and increasing the likelihood of more marks or stains.
By applying an impregnation or waterproofing spray you can help restore your awnings resistance to moisture and dirt, and makes sure it’s ready for next Summer, or the more unreliable Autumn months.
The environment your awning is kept in can mean it does require cleaning regularly. This can include areas with high levels of pollution, or those that attract a lot of debris from nearby trees.
If the environment is fairly clean, then you should only need to clean your awning at the end of the season, or if you notice any dirt or marks. For deeper cleans of much larger awnings, or those that are difficult to reach, you can contact our team for more advice.
