Professional Awning Cleaning and Care

Why Regular Cleaning is Important

Routine maintenance helps prevent dirt buildup, protects against weather-related wear, and extends the lifespan of your awning. Following a regular cleaning schedule can save you time and money on repairs or replacements.

Care and Cleaning Tips for Sunbrella Fabrics

Routine Maintenance

1. Hose off fabrics with clean water monthly to prevent dirt buildup.
2. Brush off loose debris regularly.

Deep Cleaning Every 2–3 Years

For a thorough cleaning:

1. Use a mild soap like Woolite or Ivory Snow (no detergents).
2. Wash with lukewarm water (no more than 100°F).
3. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Handling Stubborn Stains

For tougher stains like mildew or roof runoff:

1. Mix 1 cup of chlorine bleach, 1/4 cup of mild soap, and 1 gallon of water.
2. Apply with a soft-bristle brush and let soak for 20 minutes.
3. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Retreating Your Awning

After deep cleaning, reapply a water-repellent solution like 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™. This restores the fabric’s resistance to water and keeps it in optimal condition.
