1. One of the best ways to keep the fabric looking good and to delay the need for deep or vigorous
cleanings is to hose fabrics off on a monthly basis with clear water. This practice will help prevent dirt
from becoming deeply imbedded in the fabric. In most environments, a thorough cleaning will be
needed every two to three years.
2. When it is time for a thorough cleaning, the fabric can be cleaned while still on the awning frame. Use a
soft brush and warm water with soap.
3. When cleaning the fabric, it is important to observe the following:
•
Always use a natural soap, never detergent.
•
Water should be cold to lukewarm, never more than 100
°
F.
•
Air-dry only. Never apply heat to the fabric.
•
Always allow the fabric to dry thoroughly before folding and storing.
Mildew
Mildew is a fungus growth that looks like dirt. Vinyl coated polyester fabrics are mildew resistant because
of a chemical biocide in the vinyl coating. Under ordinary conditions, mildew will not appear. However, in
areas where high temperature and humidity are common, mildew can be a problem and require the
material to be washed more frequently. Thoroughly rinse the fabric with clean water and allow to air dry
completely before folding and storing.
