Awning Care & Cleaning
On a monthly basis, loosen hardened dirt
and remove dust from the awning with a dry,
medium bristle brush. Thoroughly rinse both the
top and bottom with a garden hose.
A high-quality fabric cleaner may be used
to help maintain appearance. Carefully follow
the instructions on cleaning products. Metal
surfaces should be cleaned with soapy water
and thoroughly rinsed. Allow the awning to
thoroughly air dry while extended. Awning
maintenance products can be found at RV supply
stores.
Carefree Awnings:
Acrylic Awnings -
Wash both sides of the
awning with a mild soap (i.e., dish soap) and
lukewarm water.
DO NOT
use detergents. If
necessary, reapply the solution to keep fabric
saturated. Rinse the awning thoroughly. Repeat,
if necessary, until most of the stains disappear.
Contact Carefree of Colorado for removal of
stubborn stains.
Polyweave and Vinyl Awnings - Mildew will
not form on the awning material itself, but may
form on the
dust accumulated on the canopy. A
quality vinyl cleaner, such as Carefree Awning
Magic
, will help keep the awning looking new.
A mild soap (i.e. dish soap) and lukewarm water
solution can be used.
DO NOT
use detergents.
Be sure to follow the instructions on the
container.
Leaks:
It is normal for slight leakage to occur through
the fabric where water is allowed to accumulate.
If water drips through the needle holes in the
stitching use a commercial seam sealer that is
available in canvas and trailer supply stores.
Paraffin wax may also be applied to the top of
the seams. As the awning “weathers” these holes
will normally seal themselves.
Soap or chemical residue can “wet” the fabric
so that it appears unable to repel water. Rinse
the fabric thoroughly and test to see if it is water
repellent after it dries. If leakage continues after
washing and thoroughly rinsing, please contact
Carefree of Colorado
.
Storm Precautions
The warranty does not cover damage caused
by acts of nature; therefore, steps should be
taken to prevent damage from occurring due
to wind, rain or storms. Retract the awning in
inclement weather conditions or when leaving
the motorhome unattended. Should the awning
need to be retracted while the fabric is wet,
extended it as soon as possible to allow it to
completely dry.
NOTE
Water weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon.
The awning was not designed to
withstand the 500 to 700 pounds of
water that could accumulate on the
canvas.
