To clean an Awning, first ensure that the fabric is fully extended. Use a mix of warm water and detergent-free soap as well as a microfibre cloth to gently wipe the Awning clean, then allow time for the fabric to dry completely. We recommend cleaning your Awning at least twice a year; once before using it in the summer and again before you’ve rolled it up for winter. We also recommend wiping the metal components and fittings twice a year with a soft cloth dampened with warm soapy water, and lubricating any moving parts with silicone spray or WD-40 at least once a year.
