Do allow dirt, leaves, or other debris to accumulate on the awning, which
could cause abrasion and stains. Mildew could grow on dirt and organic debris,
causing permanent discoloration, stains, and odors to the awning fabric.
Do use strong chemicals or abrasives to clean parts, as their protective sur-
faces will be damaged. Clean awning hardware (as needed) with a mild surface
cleaner.
Apply silicone spray lubricant as needed to the moving parts on the fabric roller
tube assembly.
Lubricate all pins and sliding surfaces of the arm assemblies with silicone spray,
as needed.
Do use abrasive or corrosive cleaners, mildew removers, or hard bristle brush-
es on the awning fabric.
Vinyl awning fabric is durable and water resistant. Wrinkling is a normal characteristic,
which may be more noticeable when the awning is retracted, and after prolonged periods of
stowage (rolled up). Leave the awning open during warm weather to minimize wrinkling. A
slight “travel line” may appear where the door roller (if installed) contacts the fabric. This is
normal and does aect the integrity of the fabric.
To clean the fabric:
Open the awning.
Mix 1/4 cup soap with ve gallons of fresh water. Always use a natural soap, not
a detergent. The water should be cold to lukewarm, never more the 100° F.
Liberally drench the fabric with cleaning solution.
Close the awning and allow the cleaning solution to soak for ve minutes.
Open the awning and thoroughly hose o the top and bottom of the fabric with
clean water. Repeat if necessary.
Remove the solution COMPLETELY from the awning fabric.
Make sure the fabric is dry before closing the awning. Air-dry only. Never apply
heat to the fabric.
