Hi Folks
its a beautiful day here in gods county (cheshire) so i'm going to roll out the awning and wash it down

so what do you guys clean your awnings with

 

Believe it not "Awning Cleaner" Tony

Keith

Ps Available from our usual RV supplies person........

 

Hi Tony,
Would love to help but we haven't even had ours rolled out
not sure if there's a canvas in there

Ken & Dawn

 

Scotlandjimhas got a system of using vinegar and soap.

He'll be along soon to tell you no doubt

 

Well i might have known you would come laughing Keith
BTW your working hard for some discount mate

 

Nah, not laughing Tony, it's just that I did mine last week mate..... The top is fine for cleaning but getting the underside clean whilst staying dry is a hoot
As you say......... Every little helps mate

On a serious note for a second......
I once cleaned a particularly filthy awning on our Hymer when we first got it using Biological Washing Powder... Just mixed some up in a bucket of water and scrubbed away at the fabric. Came up a treat (and smelled nice too ).
Give it a go Tony and see how you get on.... Don't forget to rinse if off thoroughly though.....

Keith

 

Thanks Keith i will try that
its not particulaly dirty not ingrained its been rolled up wet and got streaky dirty marks on it
i'll let you know who gets the wettest

 

Hi Tony

Well, I don't use vinegar on the awning but it cleans lime scale from kettles ..

Mix up a mild solution of washing up liquid and about a cupful of household bleach in a bucket.
Scrub the awning and while still wet roll it back up.
Leave for 30 mins then unroll and wash off with a hose.. Result.. awning cleaned on BOTH sides ..
