Keep Your Awning Beautiful for Years to Come
The awning on your home or business takes a lot of abuse from the sun and harsh weather. Unfortunately, that abuse can equate to a shorter awning lifespan.
To prevent deterioration of your awning, you'll need to take proper care of it. You'll be pleased to know that cleaning, protecting, and preserving it is easy and affordable! Keep your awning looking its best for years to come by reading the tips below.
Awning Care Tips
- Hose down the awning about once a month. You can clean it with a soft bristle brush and sponge using a solution of warm water and mild dish detergent. Do not use stiff brushes, chemical cleaners, or a power washer as these will damage the material and thread
- Use a soft household broom to keep the underside of your awning clean
- Make sure all shrubbery and vines are kept away from the awning. Many plants contain acids that can damage an awning's fabric
- If you keep your awning rolled up, unroll it every so often to make sure there are no unwanted guests using it as a home. Bees, squirrels, and birds can damage your awning
- Do not store your awning in a damp area nor in non-breathable plastic bags. Proper air circulation is important for the longevity of the fabric
