CLEANING & CARING
NORMAL WEAR & TEAR:
Certain regions of the country are extremely hard on awnings of any kind. If you live in these areas, (High
maintenance areas: FL, TX, NM, AZ, NV or high altitude areas) you probably already know how the sun can take a
toll. Normal wear and tear is not covered in our warranty and should be expected. Damages caused by improper
anchoring, strong winds, snow or ice are not considered defects. We offer replacement fabric at affordable prices.
CLEANING & CARE:
Awnings should be cleaned at least once a year in low maintenance areas or twice a year in high maintenance
areas (see high maintenance areas above). Cleaning consist of brushing off debris with broom, brushing on a non-
detergent cleaning compound (such as 1/2 Vinegar, 1/2 water), letting it sit for 20 minutes and rinsing Remember
that your awning is an exterior product, You’ll need to clean your awning to preserve and extend its beauty and
life. Please refer to the cleaning and care chart below if you acquire a stain from one of the ingredients on the list.
