Many guests who visit with traditional pole awnings or modern air awnings may find this homemade deep cleaning solution effective: mix 1 cup of bleach for a more intensive clean. However, it’s essential to avoid leaving the cleaner on for 20 minutes or longer to prevent discoloration of the awning fabric.
When it comes to regular maintenance, Richard recommends the Thetford Awning Cleaner for bi-annual scrubs, noting its efficacy in leaving awnings looking their best. For those confronting tough stains like dirt, algae, mould, and mildew, AT-55 serves as a potent cleaning agent designed to tackle these challenges on awning and tent surfaces.
For a natural cleaning option, a mixture of 6 parts water to 1 part hydrogen peroxide can be used for both natural and acrylic awnings, applied via a spray bottle. Additionally, the Isabella Isaclean 1-litre awning cleaner is optimal for all-year maintenance, especially suitable for intensive cleaning.
At the beginning and end of the season, the Isabella Isaclean awning cleaner provides a thorough clean. To address the black marks that often accumulate on caravans, a soft brush should be used to clean the sides from the awning rails.
For those preferring a more robust approach, traffic film remover (gunk) along with a jet washer on a soft setting (and keeping a little distance) can be a practical solution when cleaning an inflated awning in the garden.
