Awning Care &
Maintenance
Mildew will not form on the awning material itself, but it may form on the
dust accumulated on the canopy. A quality vinyl cleaner, such as Carefree Awning
Magic, will help keep your awning looking new. Be sure to follow the
instructions on the container.
NOTE: Allow the awning material to thoroughly dry before rolling the
awning up. Metal surfaces should be cleaned with soapy water and
thoroughly rinsed.
Care of Awning Acrylic Fabric:
The acrylic fabric should be cleaned regularly before substances such as dirt,
leaves, etc., are allowed to accumulate on, and become embedded in, the fabric.
The fabric can be cleaned without being removed from the awning. Simply brush
off any loose dirt, leaves, etc. Hose down and clean with a cloth and mild soap.
DO NOT USE DETERGENTS.
Allow to air dry, preferably on a warm sunny
day. Should you have to retract the awning when the fabric is wet, it should be
extended at the first opportunity to finish air drying.
Avoid leaving the awning partially extended during rainy conditions. The
awning is at the strongest setting when fully extended.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
• Washing:
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 hose. This process can be made easier
with awning maintenance products. Saturate the fabric with the
solution and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Wash both sides of the
awning using an awning brush. If necessary, reapply the solution to
keep fabric saturated. Rinse the awning thoroughly. Repeat, if
necessary, until most of the stains disappear.
• Water Leaks:
If leaking occurs after washing, it generally results
from insufficient rinsing. If water drips through the needle holes in
the stitching use a commercial seam sealer which 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 nor-
mally seal themselves.
It is normal for slight leakage to occur through the fabric where water is
allowed to accumulate or pocket on the fabric. See “Storm Precautions” for
information on the awning settings for proper water drainage. Sometimes soap or
chemical residue, such as from active agents in insect fog or sprays, 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
repeating the washing and thoroughly rinsing, please contact Carefree Awning
Magic concerning further maintenance.
