started when I was 11 with my parents-forgot to stop!been real one since 1980!
warm water with some washing-up liquid in it does it for me.(y)
I put a scant egg cup of bleach to the water,but wear protective eye guards in case of splashes.

A solution of bio washing powder/liquid wet the surface and roll it back in, leave to soak for a bit, wind it out and hose off, job done.

Mine was in such a state I was considering replacing the fabric. Thought that I would try a drastic measure, pressure washer from below and above (standing on roof). Now as good as new, no damage and only took 20 mind

2015?
Are Fiamma windout awnings/canopies fit & forget or do I need to search better for newer threads? 🤔

Anyway, after pitching up under trees I’d like to clean off sap and general dirt.

Apart from the cleaning tips above, is it easy to remove the awning for a clean & maintenance task?

The awning just needs a wash so if there’s nothing much to maintain I can keep the task simple.

many many years! since I was a kid
I wouldn't remove it to clean, just leave in place. Removal takes 2 strong people and ladders, and you can end up twisting the box. Clean as in the advice above and they come up like new

Thanks for the prompt feedback.
I’ll be keeping it simple.
I’m dangerous enough on a ladder for simple tasks... (Well, I think I’m OK but mrskevenh has a different opinion)
