How to keep your awning in tip top condition...... continued
• U.V. Coating
: Your Falcon porch awning has a U.V. coating on it which helps protect it against the harmful suns rays, but this coating will degrade over time.
This time will differ depending upon the weather and how often you use the awning. We always recommend re-coating your awning each year as this can
add years of extra life to your awning. If you do re-coat your awning we recommend cleaning it first with a dedicated awning cleaner and then re-coating it
immediately after it has dried, again with a dedicated re-proofing solution.
• Drying
: You should never pack away a wet awning. if you pack away your awning wet it can lead to mould growth and this can damage your awning. If you
do have to pack away the awning wet, once back home you should immediately remove the awning from its bag and dry both the awning and the bag before
re-packing it away. Also ensure that the adjustable pole is taken apart and dried separately as if water is left inside the pole this can cause damage.
• Cleaning
: You should aways keep your awning clean as dirt, water and mud can lean to mould growth and damage the awning, the coating, or both. We
recommend firstly brush off any lose dirt with a soft brush and then clean your awning with warm soapy water, without using any chemicals or solutions. If
you have more stubborn stains or dirt then use a dedicated awning cleaner, but remember if you use a dedicated awning cleaner you should also re-proof it
afterwards as the act of cleaning can damage the coating that has been applied to your awning.
