Awning Mold or black streaks

Is there a spray that I could use on my awning that would prevent mold or black streaks ? I was thinking of opening the awning at lease once a week to air it out, or after it rains.

When I opened it up this pasted spring it was a mess. My awning does not have a cover.
  • It wont stop it from coming back but "Tilex Mold and Mildew" Link Does an incredible job of removing the black mold.
    I didn't want to spend anytime scrubbing mine this year so I just brought the bottle along. I mixed the entire bottle with a gallon of water in a garden sprayer and soaked the awning down at the CG. After leaving it wound up and soaking for three hours, I extended the awning and was shocked. It was 99% spotless. Only a few little spots at the outside edge that dried out wern't clean.
  • With our trailers I'd extend the awning and get on the roof with a bucket of water with bleach in it. Brushed down the awning with the solution and then rolled it up for about 1/2 hr. Open it back up scrub with a soft brush and dawn dish soap water. rinse well.
  • Others on this forum have sung the praises of Mr Clean Magic Eraser for getting rid of the awning streaks.

    That is what I am going to try next.
  • Fought that for years. was good until I put it up after camping in the rain and left it for one week. Was Never the same.

    I used spray and cleaners and it got about 80 percent clean and even scrubbed it.

    New camper has a awning cover and it is awesome.
