Want to Know How to Clean Canvas Awnings?
Canvas awning maintenance is not difficult or time consuming, but it does require proper methods to keep your awning in tip top shape.
While simply hosing your awning down on a monthly basis is wise, you should follow the below steps to give your canvas awning a good cleaning every now and then:
- Brush off all loose dirt and debris. Particles that float through the air tend to land on awnings because they’re extended most of the time. Wipe all of this away before you start the cleaning process.
- Next, hose down the awning.
- For a cleaning solution, just mix together water and a mild soap. Use a soft bristle brush with the cleaning solution to gently wipe down the awning.
- Rinse the awning thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Let air dry.
Cleaning your canvas awning will help prevent mold and mildew growth. But if you don’t have the time to do a thorough cleaning yourself, Paul Construction offers awning cleaning and awning repair services. We will be sure to treat your awnings with the care they deserve to stay bright and appealing without the accidental damage that sometimes occurs from improper cleaning methods.
And if you do find that your awning is in need of repair, our highly trained team will inspect your awning to quickly determine the problem (rip or tear of the fabric, electrical issues, etc.) and do whatever it takes to get your awning back in perfect shape.
