A&E WeatherPro Helpful Hints:
• Whenever the awning is wet while rolled up, soon as
conditions allow, roll it out and let it dry before rolling it
up again. This will help prevent the formation of mildew
and add greatly to the life of the awning.
• Mildew does not form on the fabric itself, but on the
accumulated dust, dirt and grime. Periodically clean
vinyl or woven acrylic fabric using a mixture of 1/4 cup
of dish soap and 1/4 cup of bleach mixed with 5 gal-
lons of warm water. Liberally slosh the mixture on the
top of the fabric and roll the awning up for 5 minutes.
This will apply the mixture to the bottom of the fabric
as well. Roll it back out and hose off with fresh water.
Repeat if necessary. Allow to dry before rolling up.
• Always make sure the awning is fully extended before
opening the entry door.
