NORMAL WEAR & TEAR:
The weather in certain regions of the country contributes to wear and tear of the awnings. If you live in these
areas (High maintenance areas: FL, TX, NM, AZ, NV or high-altitude areas) weather conditions (including 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 consists of brushing off debris with broom, brushing on a non-
detergent cleaning compound (such as a solution of 1-part vinegar to 1-part water), allowing the awnings to sit for
20 minutes, and then 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.
