Awning easy way to clean

[pelican]

I thought I should share this.
I found a quick ,easy and low cost way to clean my roll out awning.
Just used 10% mix of bleach and rubbed on with a mop as in photo. let it stand for 10 minutes and hosed off.
First clean for 6 years all black mould etc gone.
Did the underside same method all black mould spots gone. just amazed at how easy and quick.

Looks very good and cheap fix, well done

Is that just a 10% mix with water.

posted this method years ago.. Tip came from a USRV forum ..

Bucket of warm water , good squirt of Fairy and 1 cup of cheap thin bleach.

Open the awning and wash BOTH sides with a soft broom or car brush.. roll it back in while still wet and soapy.. Leave for half an hour.. open up and hose off.. brand new awning. !

That's the method I followed when you posted and I think that was the cause of the black mould!

I gave mine a clean earlier this year. Just plain water and leave to dry. Wasn't too bad anyway.
