Fabric Cleaning Instructions

General Cleaning Tips for Awnings:

• Remember awnings may be cleaned without first being removed from the frame.
• Clean awnings regularly before substances can accumulate and work their way into the fabric.
• Awnings are generally low maintenance. Try washing your awning once a month with a garden hose on a sunny day.
• It is important to keep dirt, leaves and other debris from accumulating on your awning. Keeping shrubbery and vines off your awning is essential to the overall look and life your awning.
• Never in any circumstances use a grill under an awning.
• Remember to clean and dry your awning completely before storing.
• If your awning is torn accidentally, call Exclusive Awning for immediate repairs.

Vinyl/Polyester Laminates

Vinyl laminated polyester fabrics are manufactured by sandwiching a polyester mesh material between two layers of vinyl using heat and adhesive. These fabrics resist rot, mildew, and fading. In addition, most are flame retardant, waterproof and easy to clean and maintain.

Regular rinsing of the top and underside of the awning with a garden hose will help keep dirt and roof particles from soiling your awning. (We do not recommend cleaning with high-pressure equipment. High-pressure cleaning may damage the surface treatments or the vinyl itself.)

To remove dirt and light stains, gently wash the awning with a mixture of natural soap and lukewarm water. (Do not use detergent.) Use a soft bristle brush and gently scrub the awning cover.
