  • Hose down your awning every month or so to remove dirt and debris.
  • Use a mild solution of warm water and dish detergent with a soft-bristle brush or sponge for deeper cleaning.
  • Avoid power washers, stiff brushes, or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the fabric and stitching.
  • Keep the underside of your awning clean by gently brushing it with a soft household broom.
  • Trim back shrubbery and vines to prevent contact, since some plants contain acids that can damage the fabric.
  • If your awnings are usually rolled up, lower them occasionally to make sure pests such as bees, birds, or squirrels have not nested inside.
  • Never store awnings in damp areas or non-breathable plastic bags, as proper air circulation helps prevent mold and mildew.
  • With regular maintenance and proper care, your awning will continue to provide shade, comfort, and curb appeal for many years.
