2.Fabric Care &maintenance:
Vinyl fabric offers the advantage of durability and water resistance.Wrinkling may be more
noticeable when retracted, and after prolonged periods of stowage (rolled up).In warm weather,
open it up for a period of time to minimize the wrinkling .Leave awning open during warm
weather to minimize the wrinkling over time.
a. To clean the fabric
Do NOT use abrasive or cor-rosive cleaners, mildew removers, or hard bristle brushes on
awning fabric. Liberally drench open awning fabric with cleaning solution.Close awning, let it
soak for 10minutes, then open awning again.Remove solution COM-PLETELY from awning
fabric. Bleach will degrade awning fabric if NOT completely rinsed off.
Thoroughly hose off top and bottom of fabric with clean water.
b. To repair a pinhole, or if a spot of coating flakes off from top layer of vinyl fabric
Apply a very small dab of VLP (Vinyl Liquid Patch) on tip of cotton swab. Gently roll cotton
swab around pinhole. The VLP will melt the coating (on fabric) and that will quickly fill in pin-
hole and blend with all colored vinyls.NEVER close (roll up) awning when vinyl liquid patch is
wet. Otherwise, damage to other parts of awning fabric (melting through layers) will occur.
Allow VLP to dry thoroughly before stowing (rolling up) awning .
